asianak · Jul 13, 2011

I was wonder if anyone on here had a idea when the new Kel-Tec KSG comes out for sale?? My wife was looking to buy me something for my bday. Thanks again

asianak · Jul 13, 2011

Well that sucks! I'm really excited about this shotgun.

Me tooooooo!!!

i wonder what initial prices are gonna be when they are in stock.

asianak · Jul 14, 2011

Under $700 is what budsgunshop told me when I called them

Taparia · Jul 14, 2011

someone needs to be sure to post on here when they finally come out with the official release date

03protege · Jul 14, 2011

I think this will be like their other products... impossible to find. Everyone wanted the 22 mag handgun and the sub-2000 and where is new stock on those?

asianak · Jul 14, 2011

I'm on buds notification list when they get this in stock. As soon as they do I'm ordering.

I'm gonna hold off for a year or so and let them work out the bugs.

Same here.

Since seeing the Neostead, I've been waiting for a domestic company to follow suit with a more technically advanced version.
(I know; the AK, in all of its low-tech glory, is a legendary icon of durability and reliability. However I feel that a good pump shotgun needs a bit more than that. But I digress...)

Will likely get a KSG after the initial bugs, if any, are worked out.

They are on Gunbroker as of now. Stoopid prices for the most part, but they are "out" and some dealers have them apparently.

Some of them are people selling the early guns they were given for T&E and Kel-Tec will likely sue them.

I think the release date was the end of last year and that they were going to ship this month. Just **** I read on line.

The Keltech KSG is turning into a PR nightmare for Keltech. Last update from the company was six months ago, simply advising the public of T&E shipments and action 'our' end for any sales of those particular units. Bottom line is this weapon was presented too far beyond any capable release date, leaving those that are interested chomping at the bit, waiting......waiting.......waiting......waiting! The web, blogs and forums like this are driving the news on this particular weapon, which isn't good for Keltech, as it shows a company that is not in control of it's own media and marketing efforts. Presenting a revolutionary bull pup shotgun design onto the world stage should surely have had a confirmed deadline in place. If not then at least keep an anxious public, who want to spend money on this particular product, updated. Keeping your loyal and potential, future customers in the dark is just bad business! Me, I lost interest and finally bought a Benelli Supernova as I was tired of waiting! I might revisit it in a year or two from now but Keltech aren't getting my money!

Not sure of where your getting your information.I seen these shotguns at gun shows about 2 months ago.
As far as dealers getting them.They already have them.I just visited a shop a few days ago and they had
3 of them.

As far as Kel Tec,they will always be behind on the sending of the guns out to dealers.They could care
less about the civilians.They have military contracts out the wazoo.They will always be concentrating on
those before they send out their firearms to dealers at a fast pace.

I wish they would not make any more pistols and just concentrate on the rifles and shotguns.And I have
to say.That is a bad azzzzzz looking shotgun.I just like the 2 different chambers.And of course the bullpup
configuration is always a welcome site in my book.

Oh and the price is around $729-$769 depending on your area.But I also found out from many FFL guys
,they were told at the shot shows,that inventory would be limited to all firearms,period.SO I guess if
your looking to get a few more guns before whatever happens,then this year may be the time to do so.I
am not sure why they would tell dealers this,but I'm guessing to get them ready for a slow down of
distribution.WTH knows.../.......

Dang. For $729, that makes for (if the price of one is 200 bones) three 870s, nearly four!
However, would be cool to torture a KSG to failure... :ninja:

slowhandlukem · Jan 21, 2012

well ,first off.It weighs about a 1/4 of what a 870 weighs.Second it holds 15 rounds of nasty zombie killing ammo

Third,Id say anything that weighs less than most ARs with 15 rds is just the shizzle.(8.4 pds)

To me,it makes the saiga junk out dated and obsolete now.That saiga with the drum attached is crazy heavy and
very bulky.This gun cures all that and more.I see a few people saying they don't think it will hold up.I disagree.
Kelttec doesn't make anything that won't hold up as far as rifles and shotguns.They are a military building company.....

762NATO · Jan 21, 2012

There are definite advantages, but economics wins out, along with one heck of a track record. BUT, this is a nice novelty.

NOTE: THIS IS ONLY AN A OPNION.

slowhandlukem · Jan 21, 2012

Maybe its for the man that has everything else lol...

Or maybe for the man that already has 20 shotguns

Oh well.This will be my last posts for many moons my
Cherokee friends.I am at 601 now with only 26 goodie
points.I promised I would not post more than 600
before I hit 50.I have many moons to get 24 more

What military contracts does Kel Tec hold? Im not aware of any and I also checked FedBizOps and they list none.
