Awesome Kel Tec Sub 2000 upgrade! Red Lion front sight

[str19691]

Does the gun still fold and lock with the new sight ?

[the308capital]

@str19691 Yes.

...you look familiar, you from CT?

[the308capital]

@sclark1701 Not from CT.

Got to wonder about Kel tec and their market product thinking?

The engineering is great, why go cheap on a front & rear sight.

It'll cost using metal less then .35 cents each unit, and still make a profit!

Great video!

[the308capital]

@mik22pik I know, it makes no sense.  Red Lion doesn't mind that Kel Tec installs those cheap plastic sights!

[IWannabeJew]

Very informative. What do you think about possibly mounting a red dot or holo sight to the left side on the tactical rail foregrips so that you can still fold it up? You would have to shoot it paintball style.

[the308capital]

@IWannabeJew Red Lion makes a 90 degree indexing rail so that you can mount an optic and still fold it.

[Moonfood78]

They have a quad rail that rotates so you can still fold it. Looks like this gun will cost me around $500 in the end. Ill stick with the Sterling.

Nice vid and the sight looks nice. Unfortuneatly I'm struggling to find the gun. Best my local shops will do is put my name on a "list" for a phonecall when they get they're 1 or 2 per year. I'm not holding my breath.

[the308capital]

@fjeremyu Thanks. Kel Tecs are hard to get for 2 reasons. First off they are a relatively small gun maker by comparison. They out-market their manufacturing capacity. In a way it's good not to expand too much because it keeps quality control better. The second big reason is they will make a run of rifles one week, another run maybe a week or two later, etc. They don't constantly produce all their products concurrently. I was on a year long wait for their RFB. Worth the wait.

@fjeremyu Family lives near the plant and I was only able to score one in .40 by going to 3 different places. It isn't easy to get a job, there, either, apparently.

[MYFARTSSMELLLIKEGIGG]

for 80 to 90 $ for the open sights id buy a red dot



[the308capital]

@MYFARTSSMELLLIKEGIGG If your intention is a red dot then yes, buying this sight makes little sense. Since I'm keeping my Sub 2K as an open sight carbine this route works better for me.

[jasontimmur]

@MYFARTSSMELLLIKEGIGG Except then you can't fully fold it.

[the308capital]

@BowsandGuns Thanks, I appreciate it.

[SpaceExplorer31]

Excellent video. It still latches and that is awesome. Yes the factory front sight is garbage. Thanks for the info.

[the308capital]

@SpaceExplorer31 If installed correctly it will latch which is why I liked this sight.

[Crimble67]

@the308capital Oh, man, I thought you were giving away a Kel Tec to celebrate your 2,000th subscriber! - LOL Great video as always, you should have at least 2,000 subs.

[the308capital]

@Crimble67 Thanks, I might hit 2000 subs in 3 more years at the current rate, assuming people are still interested by then.

[ViralZombieHunter]

i want a s2k w/ a quad rail and a lil red dot =)

[the308capital]

@ViralZombieHunter That seems to be a common setup people have. I like retaining the folding ability and light weight, so no rail or red dot for me with this one.

[ImJacksAmygdala]

That 90$ sight is a must have add on. I think you spent more time describing your utter disgust and hatred for the factory sight LOL! I don't blame you I hate it too. My current plans are to go with the Redlion sight and replace the AR site post with a Trijicon night sight AR post. Yes they do make those. I also plan to make the same cuts in the extension, but I will add a thin recoil pad to the extension so the front sight locks inside.I can always take the extension off to field strip.Thanks!

[ImJacksAmygdala]

I wish the adapter was threaded...

[the308capital]

@ImJacksAmygdala Agreed, but the barrel isn't so it's moot.

[ImJacksAmygdala]

@the308capital No I misspoke I meant to say that I wished Red Lion manufactured a muzzle device that had threads instead of just the compensator option. This way you would not have to pay a gunsmith extra. The barrel should have been threaded from the factory to be honest.

[the308capital]

@ImJacksAmygdala I agree. Kel Tec should have threaded the barrel. They do with all their other rifles. Hell, even the PLR-16 pistol has a threaded barrel, why not the sub 2k? I doubt anyone at Kel Tec will see this video and change the design but it would be a nice addition for future production. Threaded barrels give people options and options sell more products.

[ImJacksAmygdala]

Subscribed BTW thanks for the awesome vids!

[the308capital]

@ImJacksAmygdala Thanks.

[052187ful]

nice brother...i like the upgrades

[the308capital]

@052187ful Thanks, of all my guns I fire this one the most so a good sight upgrade was a must.

[damarei]

[the308capital]

@damarei Thanks.
