I just ordered a Gen 2 Kel Tec Sub 2K. I had to sell my old Gen 1 a while back. This is one of the most brilliant rifles ever, in my opinion! I hope you guys continue to grow as a company and get better and better.
I need to take off my fin it's California compliant I can get one 9f screws of but other side keep turning I assume it the glue ....any suggestions hair dryer to soften the glue or heat gun
Chad, how could kel tec think the sights on this gun were good to go?? What would have been so hard in making them taller? Every person that shoots it says the same thing, they have to mash their face down so hard on the stock to get low enough for proper sight alignment that it's completely uncomfortable and an unnatural position. They need to be a full half inch taller.
I agree. There's a mount you can purchase that locks on the bottom rail and comes up over the top for optics. The top of the mount swivels to allow the gun to fold without unmounting the optics.
I like them. But then, my first rifle was an AK. And you need to squeeze yourself on to those AK iron sights. Don't get me wrong, there's a red dot offset on the sub 2k as well, but I don't mind defaulting to the irons one bit. They're so easy to use and they give you tight little groups. Wish my AK grouped like this thing does.
@@robertgaudet7407 it's 2 years later... What do you think of the gun now? How does it feel slouching down to look through the sights.. I'm very interested in these and there is a rebate going on now..
Thanks Chad, great short to the point video. Now the problem, I still could not get my gun apart! Oh wait I STILL CANT FIND ONE TO BUY AT ANY OF MY LOCAL SHOPS, AFTER A YEAR NOW. WTF. And One of my local dealers said the last time he called and asked to get me one of the glock 17 gen 2's his distributor laughed at him.
I am having an issue with reassembling I cannot seem to the charging handle to go forward after I put everything back. Any help would be appreciated. I did not pull the trigger during cleaning or field stripping. I just figured it out guys, it is a little hard for reassembly.
Good video, the question I have is how much oil is recommended on the bolt. Being here so much metal and metal is good to run quite a bit wet rather than just a light coat?
Thanks for the video. The gun has run flawlessly, but I cannot seem to get the bolt to come out. It gets stuck at the bottom of the pipe and while I could "persuade" it, I'd rather not take a hammer to the gun.
Cant find anything in the instructions or on the internet on how/where to lube this rifle.. The guys at the store where I bought it have no idea either.
Take a flat tip screwdriver and thru the ejection port you can thus reset the hammer. Then, you may have to tickle the hammer a tiny bit more as you slide the bolt into place if it hangs up.
Hammer doesn’t need to be reset and charging handle pull to the rear to release spring but the recoil spring doesn’t come out even after pulling with all my strength. The gun worked fine after first 150 rounds I just wanted to clean it and can’t because of this issue. Does it need to be sent back to KelTec? Or a quick fix?
Kel Tec video FAILS TO MENTION a key step when disassembling. (step #2) Disassembly 1. Check...No rounds in firearm. Magazine removed. 2. *Pull CHARGING HANDLE back. (this pulls the HAMMER back so it's ready to fire). 3. "SAFETY ON" so you WILL NOT accidentally pull the trigger and release the HAMMER. 4. Continue doing all the other steps to disassemble. If the trigger is accidentally fired while it is disassembled, here's a video on RESETTING THE TRIGGER in order to get the bolt back in. th-cam.com/video/2Mx-wN7l3DY/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps.
I am sorry, but the pin is just a pain in the but to get out. There is not much I can offer you other then be careful not to injure your hands pulling on that darn thing. Oh, I might have something. The stock likes to pop off just a hair when you have the pin half out, so try and wiggle the stock a bit while pulling on the pin. It is going to be difficult.
I know this is an old post but I'll reply anyway. It's pretty difficult to believe spring that big "shot across the room" and is now lost. Just saying. 🤔
I just put 100 + rds through my gen2 for the first time yesterday with zero issues. Contact customer service , I've had a great experience with them on other firearms.
Ha, and people say the gen 1 is more of a POS than a Gen 2. Seriously if you have a problem with the Gen 2 send it in for repair.. Kel Tec is not known for its stellar quality control.
Most all gun shops around my area will not sell KelTecs! They tell me the same thing, they say they are garbage, and you guys can't get the guns out! I have only seen one Sub2000 ever and it was a damn 40S&W so yeah I passed! Plus it wasn't the one that took Glock mags! Looks like by now you guys could get enough guns out to gun stores but I guess your not really growing! Just a guess but something's wrong that's for sure!!
I saw 8 for sale at Academy stores in Houston, went the next day and they were all gone. There’s a big demand for it like the other person said. I finally googled it in San Antonio, and a gun shop was selling one. I was there when they opened the store and I was able to purchase it.
It’s a cool gun that works. However , I can buy more quality parts from Dollar Tree. The first day I took mine out the recoil spring broke. All the parts are very cheaply made from cheap plastic. However the gun is fun though. I would say if possible but the Beretta CX4 storm it’s much better quality far superior. The Ruger PC carbine is also a much better buy.

Buying a Sub 2000 today and can’t wait for the P15 to come out! Why would anyone buy anything but a Kel-tec their so innovative and awesome!
Got a sub 2k just recently. It’s my favourite gun I own now. I go everywhere with my Keltec.
Check out our latest announcement!
Kel-Tec do you have a cleaning video
Would like to of seen how & where to clean.
Simple and straight forward. Anyone can understand it. Excellent video Sean!
Simple but its a pain in the ass to put the buffer end back in

I was born without a neck and these sights are PERFECT for me! I think they might've been designing it with folks like me in mind.
Thanks Chad, great short to the point video.

lacenter645 I'll sell you mine never been fired
i turn my finger into a T-1000 punch and push the pin out no tools needed Chad
Is there a way to reduce the tension on the charger? It's really hard to pull back
I am having an issue with reassembling I cannot seem to the charging handle to go forward after I put everything back. Any help would be appreciated. I did not pull the trigger during cleaning or field stripping.
I just figured it out guys, it is a little hard for reassembly.
well?!?!

Anywhere itll see friction itll need lube just stay away from the firing pin
@@KartNinja270 thank you!
Simple and nice video...I appreciate you taking the time....very helpful. Regards,
Re-oil, which parts the bolt in the buffer tube ?
Shouldn't the recoil string be straight & not bent?
No this is how its designed.
What happens when you pull the trigger. ??? Very hard to fix stupid mess to fix. SC Navy vet. Thanks a lot friend.

I’m trying to take mines down for the first time and my recoil spring and charging handle are stuck it’s not falling out, what do I do?
Hammer doesn’t need to be reset and charging handle pull to the rear to release spring but the recoil spring doesn’t come out even after pulling with all my strength. The gun worked fine after first 150 rounds I just wanted to clean it and can’t because of this issue. Does it need to be sent back to KelTec? Or a quick fix?
How about putting it back together. Thanks a lot friend. SC Navy vet.
yeah, putting it back together is impossible, it seems. i can't seem to get the charging handle far enough forward...
Looks easy enough!!

Cannot get the pin out of mine, even with a punch and hammer..... any tips? It's been oiled....
I am sorry, but the pin is just a pain in the but to get out. There is not much I can offer you other then be careful not to injure your hands pulling on that darn thing. Oh, I might have something. The stock likes to pop off just a hair when you have the pin half out, so try and wiggle the stock a bit while pulling on the pin. It is going to be difficult.
You have to push in the end plug slightly to release the pressure from the recoil spring (he covers that in the video).
Thank youu
Be careful of the spring mine shot across the room and is now lost
I know this is an old post but I'll reply anyway. It's pretty difficult to believe spring that big "shot across the room" and is now lost. Just saying. 🤔
You failed to say how to reassemble it
Обновляете?
Easy Peasy
Why do the instructions say to cock the hammer??
Gets it out of the way to both remove and replace the bolt.
Took mine apart to clean it and now it dosen't fire, FUCK!
Aren’t you supposed t cock the hammer before starting this process
I let mine down. It gets cocked when you remove the bolt anyway.
chad's the man! thx
Never trust a dude named Chad.........
or Brandon.
I fired my gen2 for the first time it’s the biggest piece of shit. I won’t buy another. My Gen 1 was much better
I just put 100 + rds through my gen2 for the first time yesterday with zero issues. Contact customer service , I've had a great experience with them on other firearms.
Ha, and people say the gen 1 is more of a POS than a Gen 2. Seriously if you have a problem with the Gen 2 send it in for repair.. Kel Tec is not known for its stellar quality control.

Looks like by now you guys could get enough guns out to gun stores but I guess your not really growing! Just a guess but something's wrong that's for sure!!
You're unfamiliar with supply and demand??
I saw 8 for sale at Academy stores in Houston, went the next day and they were all gone. There’s a big demand for it like the other person said. I finally googled it in San Antonio, and a gun shop was selling one. I was there when they opened the store and I was able to purchase it.
Haha, funny. 2 of my Buddies bought one and I am thinking about it too.. the Glock 19 versions are sold out everywhere. So much for this BS..
It’s a cool gun that works. However , I can buy more quality parts from Dollar Tree. The first day I took mine out the recoil spring broke. All the parts are very cheaply made from cheap plastic.
