Manufacturer’s Description
The PLR-16 is a gas-operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered in 5.56 mm NATO caliber. Kel-Tec says it’s intended to be a silhouette shooting and hunting pistol. The rifling is 1 turn in 9″, right hand twist. The PLR-16 has a conventional, long-stroke gas-piston operation and utilizes the Johnson/Stoner breech locking system. The rear sight is adjustable for windage. The front sight is similar to an AR-15 style rifle, and adjustable for elevation. An integrated MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail will accept a multitude of standard accessories.
The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28 TPI to accept standard attachments such as a muzzle brake or flash hider. Except for the barrel, bolt, sights, and mechanism, the PLR-16 pistol is made entirely of high-impact glass fiber reinforced polymer.
The accessories available for the PLR-16 include forend with Picatinny rail on the bottom, scope rings, dynamic deflecting operating handle, single point sling, and a muzzle brake specifically design for the 9.2″ barrel of the PLR-16.
