I guess I'm a couple or few years late on this, but I didn't find out until recently. The Kel-Tec rifles don't get a whole lot of attention.
Kel-Tec is selling pistol grip lowers and AR-15 stock adapters for SU-16 and SU-22 rifles. Link to pistol grip lower and AR stock adapter in Kel-Tec store - currently $94.40. Also available with collapsible CAR-15/XM177 stock for $129. The pistol grip compromises the ability of the rifles to fold into a compact little package, but it makes the rifles a little more egonomic, and a little less goofy looking.
Why do I even care? The SU-16 rifles are quite lightweight (about 5 pounds with the origional stock), and have a long-stroke piston operating system (sort of similar to an SKS or AK-47). With the right ACE stock adapters (they seem to be having website problems at the moment), you could put a side-folding stock on, which you can't do with 99% of AR-15 rifles. The SU-16 rifles are also relatively inexpensive. I can definately see how this might be an attractive solution to some people looking for an "evil black rifle."
You can find some more information on the pistol grip/stock conversion kit in this KTOG.org forum thread where I got the picture I posted above. I'm sure if you did a search on the forum, you could find more threads.
