Keltec Sub2000 First Shots and Sighting In

You do have to really squish your cheek down to use the factory sights. MCarbo makes a replacement rear sight that is reputed to be better, and MCarbo and Midwest Industries both make folding red dot mounts. I have the MI mount and it works well.

I like mine a lot. Enjoy yours!

I installed the higher sight, yes it cost $69.?, but does make a difference.I keep my red dot under the foregrip and goes on in a couple seconds.But it is my home defence gun.

Yes a one inch QD and there isn't a weight problem.

Congratulations on your new rifle! I have a S2K as well and really enjoy it.

Here is a thread that chronicalizes my journey with the S2K: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...al-thoughts-and-possible-improvements.897128/

I ended up adding the MCarbo sight and felt it improved the comfort level considerably.

Keep us updated if you decide to add or modify your rifle.

If it didn’t come with any rubber on bolt tube, that’s a good accessory to have. Keeps your cheek warmer in the winter and absorbs a little recoil.

Www.tacticoolproducts.com makes a rubber covering for the tube.

Good luck with your new gun!

I haven't noticed anything uncomfortable about my Sub-2000's sights, and it was right on target out of the box with 115 gr FMJs. The whole thing was pretty much turnkey.

I have mine in a computer bag.

Same, with shoulder strap, as inconspicuous as you can get.

Plus pocket for extra mags.

Here’s my computer bag with the S2k and lots of mags and ammo.

Here is the manufacturer webpage with the specs. The S2K fits in the main compartment perfectly.

Gone thru' two of these, and ergonomic issues are the main thing that sent them down the road; yeah, it's tough to get a good cheek weld with the OEM sights.
The MCarbo sights are some help. The tube cover is as well. MCarbo also makes a heavier bolt charging handle; the combination is easier to operate, and the extra mass slows down the bolt/lessens recoil.
Wish KelTec executed their stuff to a higher quality level; their engineering is amazing.

Just tried it out today and sighted in at 25 yards with some 147 grain Berrys hand loads. No failures even with these minimum charge loads. It does dump brass in the crook of my off hand elbow though.

Anyone else have to smoosh their face against the buffer tube to see the sights? I’d like to avoid a red dot to save the folding feature but this may take some getting used to.

I had one and sold it for that very reason. I have a wide face and trying to get my cheek against the recoil tube was a real pain, literally. I liked the rifle and the folding feature was an excellent idea. We just didn't get along.

Perzactly. And it is an incredibly clever idea; totally (obviously) safe when folded, probably not actually illegal anywhere (mag capacity, maybe), uses mags most have, light, compact, and mine always ran.
Dammit, KelTec, make it a little better, and do something about the sights. Please?

There's always the MCarbo fully upgraded version...

Are adjustable stocks, as on the 2nd gen, a no no in some places?
