Wouldn't the stock still keep the overall folded package size the same?

I keep wondering why they don't do a blade brace pistol version, but assumed that the length of the stock/recoil assembly/etc was fixed in size. Or maybe it just needs a heavier spring if it's going to be shorter.
 
Explore the alternative optics mounts if you want to put a dot on it. I started with the midwest mount which looked nice but wouldn't allow the dot to stay zeroed at all, it was way worse than just sticking with the irons. Then did the mcarbo which is really bulky and sticks out like a sore thumb.... but actually works.

I did run a PCC match with a dot mounted up on the factory rail, lasted about 2.5 stages before the optic flew off. Finished the stage and the rest of the match with the irons.
 
As of 9/25, still in BST. Go to rifles for sale, search for “Kel”…..his is the first one to pop up.

Yeah, that is what I am looking for, I have a PA red dot that needs a home. thinking of a light/laser combo also.
 
I had one in 40, it’s alright but felt like I had to wear a face shield when shooting it...would get some powder burn from shooting it. I found out I like my AR pistols better and I can hide/conceal them just as well.

Here is one of my AR pistol carry set ups

I know it’s a little slower to get it ready but I’m working on it .

I have a Yeet Cannon in 9mm from PSA takes glock mags also. I have both options now. Lol.
 
I've had two 1st gens in 9mm, thinking about a 2nd gen in 40. Yes you do have to get way down on the buffer tube for a sight picture, so much that it knocks my earmuffs askew so I have to use other ear pro.

IMO don't do any optic upgrades, or anything that changes the weight or overall shape of the weapon when folded or deployed. The Sub2k is best left as what it is, an ultra lightweight ultra compact quickly deployable carbine.

If you have to have a red dot, etc due to aging eyes then put it on a qd mount and move it to the bottom rail for folding. I did that once after adding a piece of rail to the bottom of the forend on a gen 1 and it held zero being swapped back and forth as well as it needed to on a PCC.

Seriously, don't try to make it better or into something it's not. It's purpose and beauty is in its minimalist nature IMO.

@snapcap had one for sale. His name is Joe. I can message him on Facebook and see if he still has it.

Not any more (where's the sh*t eating grin smiley when you ned it?). I'd been going back and forth on that one and decided it was time to act or not. Sorry Turkey :(.
 
thanks, 1911gobang,
but i was too late.

Reviving this as I just recently got one. Has anyone put a flash can on one? Mine came with an aftermarket muzzlebrake that I'm not the biggest fan of. It is fun, but not something I'd want to regularly handle if running and gunning with it.

I like the way it folds flush to exactly 16``. Never considered any kind of permanent muzzle device. Now that you mention it, a tri lug adapter could be an option.

I always wondered: why not an integrally suppressed version so it folds flush?
 
One thing you'll see when you shoot it is that it's hard to get a good sight picture because of how low you have to get. Especially wearing ear pro'. I'm wondering if 45 degree back up sights would keep it from folding up.

FG&G had those a while back. I'd love to have one but I think marketing it as a HD weapon with optic etc. is missing the mark. Complicated rotating mounts or handguards screw up the entire concept. A Ruger or Beretta PCC would be much better in the HD role which doesn't benefit from the compact and folding nature of the Sub2k that is much more suited to mobile uses IMO. But it's the only PCC they have so...

Makes a good argument for ear plugs instead of muffs.
 
Anyone using mag carriers for 33 round glock mags?
 
turkeydance said:
yes they are.
i am still looking for a used one in .40.

yeah, i know.

I love mine in .40 S&W takes s&w m&p mags, with ability to use Glock or Beretta mags with little/minor alterations. I would suggest any to all of the Mcarbo upgrades you can. Especially the take down lever and trigger job.

So what do I need to know about properly putting on this flash can I got? Just torque it until it feels good?
 
Since there is no timing involved I'd say essentially yes. You could use some type of a washer that would provide some springyness/back pressure to help to keep it from working loose, but I expect torqueing it down real good would suffice.

The most important thing is to post pics :). I want to see how it looks folded and unfolded.

I'd also like to know what the perceived sound reduction is to the shooter, if any.

I'll try to remember to post pictures when I do. Worse comes to worse Kak says it works for 5.56/.223 as well so that is always an option. I got the micro version so it isn't hanging way off of the end.

I have to get it to the range now, but I replaced the muzzle brake with the Kak mini flash can. It is roughly the same size. Got just a standard thread protector as well if I hate it. I'll report in after the range. Just got a bunch of MCarbo stuff for it as well so will update or start my own thread when I do that. Hoping for that tonight or tomorrow night.

Just got done with the internal parts kit and sight kit from MCARBO. It was a very easy job to do at my kitchen table, especially with the great video that they had to follow. I did notice that my front site post is loose. Does anyone know how to tighten that, or do I need to delve into the depths of the internet?
