Bubba Scope Mount on Keltec Sub-2000

Nikdfish · March 5, 2008, 07:07 PM

I've had this Beretta grip Sub-2000 for a while now, but wanted to add a red-dot. Since the Subbie is a folder, I wanted something that would be removable for folding, but would retain zero between uses. I had seen a posting from someone who had used a Weaver Converta-mount intended for a Mossberg 500 on theirs & decided to go that route myself ...

This is my implementation of the Mossberg 500 version Weaver Converta-mount on my Sub-2000.

I used stainless hardware for the attachment. 8/32 allen head screws and nylon insert lock nuts with washers.

I considered a few ways to handle dealing with the compound slope of the forestock (life would be too easy if it was straight & square). I even played around with using aluminium tape to build up a shim for the difference. I ended up falling back to a more simple approach. I used thin washers between the base plate and forestock on three of the four mounting screws (one on top rear & lower front, and two on the top front). The result is completely firm.

I think the alignment looks pretty good. I'll have to wait until some better weather permits a range trip for zeroing to see how well it really works...

It still folds fine with the scope rail dismounted.

followup: finally got out to the range to try things out. Zeroed without much trouble (Yay!) and holds the zero between dismounts & remounts.
These pics are a before & after dismout/remount of the scope rail with attached red-dot ....

Lol... That's not a "bubba". That's a nice piece, actually. I don't think you could bubba-fy a Sub-2000 if you wanted to.

I collect pictures of "bubba'ed" / "mall ninja" guns that I find on line. Your's is not a gun worthy of the mn/bubba collection.

You want bubba'ed kel-tecs, here's bubba'ed kel-tecs...

(no offense to the owners of these guns, these pictures were all grabbed while posted freely on other forum sites)

some of those pictures just gave me any idea or two...

Keltec has a scope mount that swings to the side to allow the gun to fold.

Kingjoey: I've got one on my Sub2K. Problem is the spacing on the standoffs/rings is not adjustable, and it's too far apart for any red dot I have seen. I have a Tasco Pro-Point that mounts like a conventional scope but even that is too short to fit the KT mount. You need something as long as a regular scope to fit the KT scope-mount fore-end.

mall ninja stuff there. I guess you need a scope on one to make those 1000 yard sniper shots. I could see maybe putting a red dot on one but even that is pushing it.

Those Kel-Tecs aren't "Bubba"ed. There's not an inch of duct tape on a single one!
