Are you saying vault will not honour the warranty?

According to keltec its lifetime, even in the manual you get with the su-16 in Canada.

I paid $460 for my su-16 so the price dont bother me.

Did you buy it second hand? If so, then you're screwed from what I know!!!!! If you do some reading here and on the KTOG forum, there are quite a few keltec owners that are getting hung out to dry by vault.
I had my SU16 threaded by Dlask. They broke my upper receiver and they wouldn't let Dlask just buy an upper, they had to buy a whole new gun to replace mine.
About a year and a half ago, you could my accessories straight from Keltec, they now won't because Vault wasn't making anything on the deal. So now you are at Vaults mercy to buy accessories from the vendors that deal with Vault.
And Vault controls what accessories comes into Canada.
GURRRRR

I Purchased new, and keltec will honour if its not original buyer as long as you pay for shipping (according to their site)

I managed to get mine this cheap because i purchased the deal from one of the sponsors which included ksg and other parts, sold them and kept the su-16 which worked out $460 tax and shipping inlcuded.

When i have had to buy accessories i just go see Dante and they get me what i want, it may take time but i can get it.

Vault has no choice but to stick to the warranty, if it dosnt its going to get in to lot of trouble from keltec. Its not great that only vault can bring keltec suff in but thats the deal keltec made and we are stuck with it.

240rds, it isn't even broken in yet.

I liked mine, but it felt like it would break if I looked at it funny and I couldn't get a good group out of it.
I haven't regretted selling it.
 
I have somewhere between 1000-1500 rounds through my SU-16.

MFS, norinco, American Eagle, and hand loads.

FWIW only issues I've seen were through a friend's su-16 while shooting steel case ammo in the rain. Mine ran just fine the same day, same ammo, and same magazine. We were running LAR mags that day, but I've also used pmags a bunch (gen 1 and gen 2) with no problems.

All that said, is it an AR? or in the class of the $2-3k NR black rifles?

No.
