Howdy, this being my first post please go easy on me
I think the most common complaint about the Sub-2000 would be the stock sights, they are hard to adjust and require the shooter to squash his or her face into the bolt tube. I began looking around for a solution that wouldn't require purchasing a $100 quad rail from Kel-Tec. Looking around the different forums multiple homemade rigs can be found, I took a little from each and this was the end result. I must say this method does require removing the front sight permanently and moderate cutting of the stock plastic hand-guard.
-I first removed the front sight by simply cutting the plastic from around the metal band, one can fully remove the metal band with a heat gun and pliers/ wrench if desired.
-Next, I removed the rear sight, this is really easy and the sight can be replaced anytime if desired. Next to the sides of the rear sight there are two screws, with the rifle unfolded unscrew the two screws, inside there will be a aluminum pin, slide the pin to one side and simply lift the rear sight off. Reinsert the pin and screws and your good to go.
-Next, remove the handguard and start to measure where you will want to place your barrel mount, I used a "UTG 2-Slot Universal Barrel Mount" Its a 1.5" clamp on picatinny rail, it sells for about $6 online. I used electrical tape to mark off the point where it will mount. Once you have your spot picked out, mark out were you will make your cuts on the hand-guard.
