My new Kel-Tec Sub 2000

[shooter651]

There was a guy running one at FNS a few months ago, but the rear sight fell off part way through. He kept going just using the front sight. He was also shooting a revolver.

The sights are really crude! That's one thing really lacking on the rifle. I wish I could put some nice Troy Flip ups on without interfering with the folding/locking mechanism. My friend put a green laser with a tailcap switch on his.

If you do want to convert your Kel-tec to use G19 magazines instead of G17's, the folks at Kel-tec said that the grip can be filed down and it can be sent to them to have it modified.

I picked this one up NIB at PSS for $309 + tax a few months back (cheaper than I could find on the interwebz). Took it ECPR and had no problems and was surprisingly accurate with the stock sights. It is a fun little rifle. I've added 2 fun sticks and thinking about changing out the forend so I can add some tupperware. - love the hard chrome!

Newb here, can a telescoping stock be put on one of these?

I'd think not since bolt is in that area.

Can't add a telescoping stock. But they do make a stock extension, it adds about an inch and a half to the stock. I added one to mine and it makes alot more comfortable to shoot.
Op might check into a bolt tube cover from tacticool products.

Im not sure some one who purchased the G17 model would wanna change magwells, youd be losing 2 rounds.

They make for a great truck gun as well. I sometimes have mine with me if I'm
going out of State and working in lesser than desirable areas.

It's on the list but right know enjoying the new plr-16.

I had one for a while and like everything about it except that it had a FTE problem. Finally sold it.

I've recently read that it's possible to buy one that uses Sig magazines and alter it so that CZ magazines can be used in it. If that's true, I might buy another one. I know that for some people they run reliably.

The folding option and the light weight make them a very nice little carbine if they'll run.

Finally got mine back together today after a trigger replacement (just couldn't bide the polymer one) and it was a ***** on wheels getting all the springs to stay put long enough to get it all the way together. I have the stock extension, and it's about 1 inch, but it doesn't interfere with the folding. Thinkin I'll put a laser on, but that's about it.

I want a 9mm with Glock mags. I spend a lot of time in the Peoples Republic of California so I am ordering a bullet button kit for mine.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

That's what mine is, 9 Glock. I was unable to find a 9 Beretta, so another species of magazine, woohoo.

dross, if you had one of the very early ones, they had super stout recoil springs and was designed to handle +P+ ammo. When I got mine, I had the fail to eject issues and when I called Kel-tec to ask the problem, they told me about the spring, and if I wanted, I could send it back and have them replace the spring with a lighter one, or they could just send me the spring and I could do it. I put the lighter spring in and never had a problem after that. Nice to be able to switch back and forth depending on what ammo I am using.

I also installed the stock extension, but didn't like how hard it was, so cut and glued a piece of soft, almost foam-like rubber to it. Really a soft shooter now!!!

 

[ws98ta]

Indykid did you glue it to the stock extension or to the stock? Do you any pics? I was thinking about getting the internal recoil buffer, but I don't like the fact you can't lock it open once it's installed.

What's PSS?

No, you wouldn't; G17 and larger mags can still be used in the G19 frame.

Somebody didn't read my thread from last year...

Plainfield Shooting Supply- a little west of Indy. One of the best gun shops in the area.

I'm pretty new here, so no. I looked at that, and yeah, it makes the MkIII look like a cakewalk. Put it together. What just fell out? That's the sear spring. Take it apart. It just disassembled itself again. Put it together. The trigger won't return. What? Take it apart. It just disassembled itself again. Put it together. Dammit, I forgot the mag release. Take it apart. Put it... wait, the sear spring doesn't even pretend to want to stay in anymore. And the trigger spring keeps popping off its little tab. Put it together BAD WORDS BAD WORDS CAN'T YOU REMEMBER THE BAD WORDS MAG RELEASE? Take it apart... All this because I wanted to replace that skeavy plastic trigger, but the one I have now is sweet. Smooth as glass and a clean break, with just a wee smidge of overtravel. I'm just not takin that thing apart again, don't even ask.

Who makes a quality replacement trigger for the SUB2K?
