Thing looks like the spawn of an old Mauser 1896 (broomhandle) and an AK, with a little Han Solo sidearm thrown in. Where's the return spring hiding? Looks like the brass would be coming right down into your hand, unless the extractor is really aggressive.
I remember some thread in another forum a while ago saying that Keltecs weren't exactly known for their accuracy or reliability.
Then again, there's the whole question of legality in some states. Can you have a mag well outside of the handle and it not be classified an 'AOW'? Dunno.
If you put a foregrip (verticle style, like an M4)on it, then it would be a Short Barreled Rifle. That certainly would get you some interesting conversation starters with the boys in the dark sunglasses, and suits with the 'extra wallet with a shiny piece of metal' in the pocket.

Well? Hog, which new toy are you buying? I was driving north past your place the other day and thought of dropping in. I'll be heading back home from Qanuckistan tomorrow night, and I'd like to drop in for a few minutes to see the new HW. You gonna be in, around 7-ish?

I will be around. Just set up camp in my new pad. I'd love to show you the new shootin iron, if I can remember which box it's in Just kidding, I know EXACTLY where it is!!!! If you don't mind tripping over boxes. Scratch that, I'll put you to work when you get here!!!! 
No new toys.... yet. I did get a big ass LCD TV though. Trying to finagle a deal with my brother-in-law. He's got the connections. Still got my eye on the Kimber grand raptor. Either that or the Kimber Covert with the built-in Crimson Trace Laser See Pic Below:

Dang! They both look good, but I'd prefer the Raptor, if only for the looks. She's a purdy one. I had a friend who had a heck of a time with getting replacement batteries for his 'in-grip' laser for his Sig. I'm not sure what brand.
I'll have my boys with me, so I can only do a short drop-in. Hopefully I'll also have some Qanuckian steel to show. I'll try to remember to call your cell before I show up. If not, I'll just knock on doors until someone answers. Should I wear blaze orange?

I agree 100% the GR is a much nicer piece. All things being equal, that being price give or take a few bucks, I'll probly go with the GR. I'll have my midgets with me too. Your boys can test their skills with my kids on Wii Guitar hero.
Blaze orange optional.  Sent ya a PM to give me a call.
