About this rifle
KelTec R50 is a pistol-caliber carbine chambered in 5.7x28 with a 16" barrel and a 10-round capacity. Finish: Black. It uses pistol ammunition, which keeps range time inexpensive and lets you share ammo with your handgun.
Manufacturer details
This carbine features a ½ x 28 threaded 16 inch barrel. It does come with some utility sights that are adjustable for windage and elevation, however the R50 receiver offers over 7 inches of picatinny rail space up top for mounting just about any optic or accessory you like. 2 inches of rail space on the bottom is ideal for light and grip options. There’s a QD sling cup just above the magazine release for mounting a single point sling and the AR style charging handle offers smooth manipulation.
If 5.7x28 velocity is your thing, the R50 is the right carbine for you. This tack driver gives you maximum speed, accuracy and power downrange with its 16 inch, threaded barrel and optic mounting option. Like many Kel-Tecs, the R50 is ideal for small game hunting, bullseye shooting or just showing off to your friends at the range.

Images may show a configuration that is not California-legal. If a detail on this page matters to your decision, call us and we will confirm it against the actual firearm before you order. The compliance information here is general in nature and is not legal advice; California and local laws change, and the configuration described is confirmed at the time of sale.
