The “Charlie” model retains most features of the original SU-16, such as integrated bipod, Picatinny rail, and M-16 magazine compatibility. The sights are similar to the “Bravo” but with the front sight integrated into the gas block.

The SU-16C has a true folding stock and can be fired with the stock folded. An reciprocating dust cover and a case deflecting operating handle are also integrated into the rifle. The barrel is 16” long and of medium weight. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 to accept standard attachments. The “Charlie” is only available in parkerized finish with black polymer components.

The SU-16C is not a replacement for the original SU-16 but a compliment for customers that put a premium on ruggedness and adaptability.

The “Charlie” type stock can be purchased as a retrofit for SU-16 owners preferring the foldable stock.
