Awesome video. I have taken my PLR-16 down several times with this video's guidance to a spotless, successful cleaning and reassembly. Fires flawlessly after rapid fire every time. DO WHAT THIS GUY SHOWS YOU!!!!!!
Dude, the best video on PLR-16 you gave a perfect example how to disassemble and go through it and reassembly awesome job!!!!!! If I could have a given 1000 thumbs up!!!!!!
Great job on the video, very well done, informative and at a good pace. I just bought one of these and I will review this video each time until I get the disassembly and reassembly down.
Awesome Awesome video! Thank you so much ! But here's my problem- mine was not cut to pull everything back after you rotate the recoil spring tube 1/4 turn. I had to use a dremmell tool to hack away some material. I didn't do the best job and it kind of looks like crap. Not very happy with Keltec right now. Going to call customer service tomorrow.
I’m having trouble with the forearm kit it sits loose and the cap won’t tighten all the way would you be able to help please other than that this video is awesome for new plr owners! Two thumbs up
Sounds a lot like something isn't quite lined up; that nut is what holds the hand guard on tight so just see if everything is lined up and thanks for the good review
Excellent video and good close up and direct information on disassembly and reassembly. My friend has one and I have fired it and showed him how to disassemble it per your video. Thanks.
I stripped mine down for the first time tonight to clean and remove the factory oil. I used a very light amount of oil overall. In your vid it looks like you have a pretty heavy amount of oil. is there a reason for that?
It was getting stored in the safe for interminable amount of time didn't want it to rust. Oil on all the friction parts and heavy oil on the lugs is sufficient for use. M-Pro 7, Slip2000, Milcom, etc are good oils for this
I have two questions about this pistol. Can it run both the 556 Nato and the 223, or just the 223? My other question is how reliable is this Kel-Tec? I never knew it was a piston driven system. For some reason I was under the impression it was a direct impingement system. Being a piston system it should be reliable. I like the overall design of the bolt and piston. Given this design I would expect this to be reliable, but only people who own them would know for sure.
it looks like everything is pretty... wet, can you comment on amount of oil required? do you lean on the heavier side of oiling because you tear down and clean a lot?
I took some advice from someone and inserted a chamber rod into the barrel (protecting the crown), screwed a chamber brush onto the rod once it was inside the receiver, and used the chamber brush backwards. That's an odd little duck to clean. I guess a guy is just going to have to remove the barrel every once in a while for a thorough cleaning.
Nimbly: Heathen... that's funny. A bore snake won't clean that chamber like I'm talking about. You gotta get in there and scrub this little guy like a surgeon. But, in the spirit of "Nimbly", I have a plethora of bore snakes for a wide variety of calibers. Shoot straight my friend.

I just bought a PLR-16 through a private sale, and youtube'd a couple of videos on field stripping, this was the best by far. Thanks!

Yeah good call, but they would have warrantied it easier before Dremel. Thanks for the support

Great Video! Nice closes up's when needed. Thanks Merlin
Great Video - I have found my PLR-16 seems to run much better with no jams, using 556
I was thinking the same thing about mine.

Great Video
You did a good job explaining this but you’re too close to see what you’re actually doing
How did you get that side rail on there?
genberic rail i bought somewhere cut and bolted on like m-lok pre m-lok
@@mer171 thanks! I just actually ordered some. Made by ergo. They make some for the Picatinny rail for plastic AR hand guards.
Wow, that Kel-Tec really is the bastard child of an AK and an AR.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the informative video. Oh, FYI I think you said "how" to take apart not the word "hot".
Maybe have someone hold camera for you??
Mine did not come with a forearm nut. Did you do that after market ... where... thread size?
i believe it came with the forarm if memory serves.
Is it the same thing for the PLR.22?
You can't stick a cleaning rod into the receiver, so how do you clean the breach? You can't get a breach brush in there.
i bent a brass rod and put an ar chamber brush on it came in from ejection port. Just be careful with your and and throat.

It is the 21st century get a damn bore snake you heathen.
