A friend of mine has a new kel tec sub 2000 rifle. He bought some ammo today, we are checking it out before we hit the range tomorrow and there is a problem.
It is a 40 cal version, using Glock mags. Using the 10 round mag the rifle came with we attempted to feed a cartridge and it does not chamber properly.
The ammo he is using is winchester white box with a flattened head which seems to be causing the problem. A traditional pointed bullet shape would probably feed fine but this ammo is not doing so.
Investigating the malfunction further we noted that the magazine does not seat completely inside the weapon.
However, if we put upward pressure on the magazine the firearm with feed properly every time.
Without this upward pressure the magazine appears to be .5mm to low in the weapon to feed this ammunition properly.
Does anyone know what the problem is? We are assuming there is an incorrect match between the mag catch and the notches in the mag. Is this a known issue with these rifles?
