On their low end, yes. But for $1800, their build quality would have rival that of my $1729 M1A or they wouldn't be able to sell any of them. I've seen no quality complaints, and their production can't keep up with the demand. Just based on that, I'm guessing that there are no issues. I'd want to see one first before buying, but then I never buy any gun sight unseen.

Edited to add: I just saw this http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2011 ... l-tec.html

Food for thought. I'd like to know if that problem has been fixed...

I dont think these rifles are in the same class. FNH makes guns used by military & police. Kel-tec does not.

I like Kel-Tec's ideas, not so much their quality, or lack of it....
