SU-16 in .300 Blackout?

[prepper4lyf]

So I was perusing the interwebs and came across a 'Murikan gun forum talking about the SU-16 being offered with a .300 AAC Blackout option... Anyone know if this is available or will be made available to the Canadian market?

Id think it would be more likely to see a SU chambered in 7.62x39 first.... much bigger market than 300 blackout.....

Agreed, I'd go 223/5.56 or 7.62x39 over the 300 Blackout only because of ammo availability.

Kel-tec did a 'what calibre do you want to see' poll for the SU16, and apparently the .300blackout was chosen.

Quick google shows that they were shown at Shot Show:

Kel-Tec’s jumping on the .300 Blackout bandwagon. They’ll be adding the new flavor to their SU-16 rifles, both in the CA (fixed stock) and C (underfolding stock) varieties. They say the suppressor-ready rifle will be available by mid-year. But as you might expect, no one’s really buying that around here. . .

Someone(on cgn or the kel-tec owners group forum) said the RFB is supposed to be coming out in 7.62x39mm with possibly AK magazines.
Rumour.

That totally makes sense: an inaccurate, unreliable, cheaply-manufactured sub-$1000 rifle that fires $1+/round ammunition. Sign me up!

I knew you would come around and drink the koolaid. Just need an xcr & norc ar next.
I find the conversion mildly interesting.

All the loctite fumes I've been inhaling is seriously affecting my judgement. Maybe a Norc upper receiver for snake defense (aka: big stick).
