Watched the entire video, thinking of upgrading my 2k so i was watching the how-to. I had a few AFGs hanging around from my ARs and that was the first thing i added before even discovering you guys.... love that AFG... Not sure i want to drill into the stock, i'm not a carpenter... or change the rear sight... internals, charging handle, cheek pad.... send em over!
I bought all of these upgrades, but I forgot a few and placed a separate order. They recognized the email and combined the order and refunded me the money for the second shipping payment. Then they emailed me the day after everything was delivered to ask if everything made it and there weren't any defects. I love this company. The parts are really well made too.
@@selectsovereigntydefendlib9884 Went very well! And all the upgrades made it much easier to shoot. I spent the extra time to polish more than they suggested, if it was metal on metal, it got polished. It's definitely got a cult like following, people love or hate it.
@@Cadsbury i got all the internals only to realize my trigger return spring wasnt in the bag. Wasnt sure if it fell out when I opened it so just ordered a new one. Minorly frusturating. Do you know if you can polish using a power drill?
Select Sovereignty *Defend Liberty* Man, that sucks, sorry. There are some small parts in those bags, they do ship quickly, so there’s a positive. Sure you can use a drill, might be a little cumbersome on the smaller parts, just take your time. I spent a couple of evenings after work to just polish pieces, but I did go overboard. It’s a great backpack gun now!
Watched the whole thing and really appreciate when companies take the time to go through things in detail. It helps those that like to tinker and DIY, but also helps those of us understand the scope of the work if we buy it direct from y'all to appreciate the effort that goes into it. I plan to reach out to y'all directly to buy one already assembled and ready to rock and roll soon.
I bought a KEL-TEC on the advice of a good friend - he said it makes a great Bug-Out bag addition, and he was right. I purchased a new Kel-Tec Sub 2000. Immediately purchased all the M*CARBO replacement parts. Watched the video while waiting for the parts to arrive. Then watched the video during the tear down. Even though I am expereinced in AR-15 armoring, it's always kinda scary when you take apart a new gun, like when you separate the grip sections, and stuff "springs" out at you, or just becomes untensioned ! This video is superb, every single take apart, and re-assembly issue is noted, and addressed. From my experience: After polishing the barrel end, I used a barrel cleaner, and it took alot of cleaning to get the inside of the barrel with a mirrored finish. It was superbly dirty from the factory. This whole project is one of these, "Since you have it all apart, you might as well , , ," And that is correct. You have got the gun stripped down to parts, you might as well polish (and lube) all metal to metal contact points. The amount of polish and felt polishing tips are well used if you do the entire inside of the gun. Well worth the time, all the action, and safety and trigger are "warm butter" smooth. The bolt and the recoil weight were fairly scratched, and grooved for a new gun. This is because there are sharp edges inside the butt stock tube/action tube. I used both fine emory cloth, and a fingernail sander to smooth out each internal opening/cut-out area, and I did not change the shape or remove a lot of metal, just smoothing the inner edges. Had to use 400 wet/dry on the recoil weight because the scratches were so deep. After cleaning up the recoil weight with sandpaper, I then proceeded to polish out the areas of concern. I did not polish the entire weight, just about the top three inches and the bottom edge - again anything where there was metal to metal contact, was polished. Compared to the video (and I realize the video is a couple of years old), my flat trigger did not come with a "spacer" and nor was one needed. Also the muzzle brake can with a concave spacer, but not a nut, and not a wrench. When I polished the end of the barrel, I masked off the end, and ran a towel around the entire thing so that I did not have to "clean off" all the plastic parts when I was finished that job. The integrated, tool-less locking pin was a challenge - but only because it's hard to compress the recoil spring with your bare hands! Put on your Mechanicx gloves and you are good to go ! The KEl-TEC hand grip (trigger side of gun) opens into 2 halves. Where it meets (the seam), has a little extra plastic flash leaving a sharp edge - after all the internals were removed, I put the halves together and used the emory board (fingernail file type), to shave that excess plastic away from the grip area, and make it smooth. This will assist the grip installation by allowing the grip material to lie flat across the gun's seams. The M*CARBO parts are super high quality (unlike the rest of the gun). The website worked great, my parts arrived in a timely manner, and all the instruction vids are excellent. Nice to work on a project with a FULL VIDEO to reference, instead of some of the more limited videos of other manufacturers. Great addition to my bug-out bag, and I thank everyone a M*CARBO for doing a great job on this KEL-TEC SUB 2000 Thanks Again !!
Watched the whole vid, did all the upgrades at the same time. Took a dinner break and had the rifle back together in a total of 3 hours. Video was very helpful and all the components you supplied are top notch. Can’t wait to put more rounds through the Sub2k now it’s all dialed in!
Made it through the entire video. In all honesty, I was watching a video on the Ruger 357 GP 100 last night and dozed off. I woke up to your video in the pre dawn. Sometimes it’s the best way for me to sleep and not have nightmares. I’m sorry, I guess I deployed one or two too many times so I find it soothing to sleep listening to intricate reviews or technical 2A builds. Thank you for your video. I woke up alive and without a nightmare.
Thanks from a retired armorer! Made it through even though I have installed a few of your products such as trigger kit and aluminum trigger. Unfortunately my arthritis has gotten so bad that my days of small work are done:( I am thinking of sending my g2 in for the full treatment and switching over to the flat trigger as I think it would work better for me. Great job Chris!
Awesome! Thanks Brother, glad to hear you made it to the end. It was the longest video we've made yet. Didn't want to leave out any details out of this one! Give us a call and we can get the Custom Work going for you. 888-347-1276. We're at a 2 week turn around at the moment.
My brother, it's 2024 and I bought the steel ramp, and steel pins/bolts. I put it off for the longest time cause this is probably one of the more intimidating firearms I ever saw. I've worked on sigs, berettas, 1911s, m&ps, etc., but this one intimidated me for some reason. I bought the muzzle break, heavy charging handle, rubber cover, butt pad and those were pretty easy, but I put off the ramp and pins/bolts off for about a year. I finally followed your video step by step and after messing up a couple times, I finally got the confidence to disassemble and assemble it. Repetition is a great teacher, ha! I may even install the rest of the MCARBO kit myself like the trigger, trigger guard/fold lever, etc now that I know how the firearm works, but ill still reference this video in a pinch. Thanks for this highly detailed video!
2:19:01 and stayed awake through the whole thing! Lots of great ideas, and to think of it, I got here because I watched your video on the Smith & Wesson Trigger Upgrade Kit. While I was ordering them, I got into the Kal-Tec stuff and came across this video. These filled my afternoon and gained MCARBO a new customer. Thanks again!
2023, FINALLY bought a Sub-2000 in 9mm multi-mag and immediately ordered and installed the entire MCARBO Pro upgrades. Followed the step video, and used my armorer skills.. it is now my traveling tool.
Yes, I made it all the way through and loved every minute of it. Your vocal instructions throughout this entire video was nothing less than perfect and kept completely engaged. The best instructional video, on any topic, that I've ever witnessed on youtube. Thank you so much for hosting and posting this great video!
Watched the entire thing. Waiting for my parts order and will probably watch the whole thing again prior to my modifications session and review the bits and pieces as I do the install. Thanks for all your hard work!
I made it through the entire video... I purchased every part you showcased here... The install went perfect... Very happy with the result... Very informative and well thought out video...
Just watched the whole thing as I was installing some upgrades (internals, trigger guard, trigger, springs, hardware, rear sight). Waiting for the upgraded latch, grips, and recoilless charging handle to arrive. Ran a couple hundred rounds through the S2K earlier this week. Cannot wait to try it out now. The videos posted on M-CARBOs website are amazing. I imagine Chris gets a little negative feedback from the videos, but anyone who has a problem with any of it needs to lighten up. Just keep doing what you’re doing. The passion you have is rare.
I've a few of those upgrades and LOVE them all. Since you asked for comments though, WOW a 2+ hour video ?!?!?! My suggestion would be to do a separate vid for each of the upgrades. If I was looking for one specific upgrade I wouldn't know where to begin.
I made it! I am a new S2K owner (G2 9mm in Glock 17 configuration.) I have begun to add upgrades from MCARBO. The first two are on their way, the receiver tube cover and the “red life saver”. I plan on upgrading it over the next few months working from the outside in. When I finish all of the exterior upgrades I will plunge into the interior. These well produced videos should be a big help.
Amazing video. I wish other companies would do such an in depth tear down. I recently got a sub2k and you gave me a lot to consider and I don’t feel as nervous about tearing it apart. Thanks, I’ll definitely be buying some stuff from y’all soon.
Man is the best disassembly/assembly firearm video I’ve ever seen! I just ordered my kel-tec sub2000 Gen II 2 days ago and I defiantly know which company I’m going with to deck her out🤟🏼. Good shit man!! God bless!!
Watched the whole show! Have a bag full of MCarbo components in the basement waiting to be installed. I'll revisit this video as I enjoy making the additions! THANKS! Bob in IL
Watched it snap-to-tail. As a former instructor, I give you an excellent rating. Not just for the very detailed explanations, but also for the "insider tips" based on your personal hands-on experience. I've had a Sub-2000 for over a year now & can't wait to do all that you did in this video. I love Keltec's innovations & affordable price points, and M-Carbo's engineering, designs & enthusiasm. One question I comment about the m-lok handrail\guard: inserting those rubber strips to protect hands from barrel heat will also block educe barrel cooling by restricting airflow & radiant heat discharge. Any feedback if this actually happens & potentially can be an issue with high volume shooting? Thank you.
I just bought a Sub2000 and I’m looking for upgrades so thank you for the video. Yes I made it all the way through but you didn’t do anything weird at the end haha. Love the channel keep up the great work.
Thanks for taking the time to include so many details and close ups. I appreciate that kind of care and effort, from the beginning to the end of the video! Thank you for your service!
Made it to the end....I am so appreciative for you and your team. I bought this firearm for its coolness, you have made it into a hot, real, reliable and user friendly to work on addition to my collection. Thank you for all your hard work, its appreciated brother. I admit, was waiting for a while to see what folks thought about the flip up sight mount, but the wait is over, im ordering one tomorrow....I would order now, but your video was so long, its bed time....but I'm grateful for the video. NICE WORK MCARBO, LOVE YOU GUYS.
Really helpful. Your videos are not only informative and with all the necessary detail, but very entertaining to watch. Thanks Chris. You're the next Richard Rawlings!!!
Thanks. Excellent work with the camera, edits, and explanations. I'd have never gotten through it by guessing at some of the crucial parts. Nearly lost the sear spring across the room but I got lucky just before giving up after 30 minutes. A trick I used for trimming the bolt tube cover was to pull it onto a 3/4" pvc pipe and trace the line by pressing an exacto blade into it. I hope the thing stays in place though, I'm one of the weirdos that likes my buttstock on the #3 setting. So, after about four hours of doing the trigger kit, feed ramp polishing, bolt tube cover, muzzle device, two-finger charging handle, and RDL, I think I'm happy with it. Test fire next weekend.
My neighbor just purchased a Sub-2000 and I had to tell him it is a must for him to visit your web site and he already has done that. I love all your videos for content and quality.
Thank you, you have out done yourself this time:) I bought my all in one kit Pro kit over labor day during the sale. I haven't had time to install it. This video was perfect timing for me as I picked up the new hammer bushing and with this video (as always) you have come through again!! Soon when I am getting cabin fever during winter it will be "Game On" with my Gen 2 sub 2000 !!!
Awesome! Happy to hear this! Glad you found it useful Brother! This makes it all worth it. We want to make the installation as enjoyable as possible....not a nightmare...we save that part for us! Haha.
Years later still relevant. Yup made it all the way through. I’ll probably watch it several times then decide to send it to you :-) Thanks for all your hard work !!
Watched it all!! And subscribed!!! Just purchased my first G2, S2K 9mm. Needed to get a proper introductin to it and this was perfect! Looking forward to adding some upgrades. Thank you!!!
Your videos help so much. Watched you video on the complete pmr install. Once to build interest, 2nd time was for review once the parts showed up before install, and the 3rd time i had it playing while I installed all the parts. Love you guys. Keep up the good work.
I really appreciate your effort and everything you guys do back there. I can now say that im fully familiar with the sub2k, really helps when you having trouble on the field or just doing paper target, thanks again!
The Ric Flair "WHOOOO" at the end was awesome...I watched to the end and I don't even own a Kel-Tec but I will be a future customer for some of your glock kits. God bless!
Hahaha... I was losing my mind near the end. Glad I made it! Full day of filming non stop....12 hours! Pew! Takes a minute to get it all of that condensed into a "short" video....glad you guys don't have to watch all 12 hours of footage...Haha!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just bought my first Sub 2000 Gen 2 and am planning my parts order now. Very detailed and helpful for those of us who work on our own weapons.
Not only made it to the end, but it has also been all the videos that helped me decide to buy a sub2000 gen2 recently. Will be in touch for all the upgrades, hell might just send it off and let you all do it.
I made it! Thanks for putting this together. Makes it so much easier following along when you elaborate clearly and edit the way you have. Amazing job brother 👏🙌👍
of course i made it brother! there is no way i could have got my kit installed without you and this video.. thank you for everything you do. my sub is a beast and i love it even more now with all your mcarbo parts. i am fully m seriesed out !!!
I watched the entire vid and I don't have one. I wanted one when they first were advertising the launch, but I gave up waiting for them to show up in the real world. Still like the idea except I have 2 PC carbines now and will just have to enjoy them through others like you in vids. I wish one of my friends had one to play with. Oh well, such is life. Great job and good stuff. I wish gun manufacturers would put better parts in their builds in the first place.I know I would pay more to not have to do all that you did after buying a weapon..I know it's so people can cheap out or totally customize. Thanks again.
was initially thinking about an AR7 Survival rifle to carry in my vehicle, also on trips into the outdoors where it might be a good idea to have a rifle that can fit in a small backpack. I carry a Glock 43X it would be great to have a same caliber rifle to keep from carrying other ammo. I wasn't impressed with the Sub 2000 gen 1...But, the Gen 2 is a different beast. With your upgrades, I have to say. No AR7 for me. With the current price point on the Sub 2000 at my preferred gun shop, and your upgrade kit, the initial price makes getting an optic doable. Absolutely love the video, I have saved it as I now plan on getting the Sub 2000 as well as your upgrade kit. That you took the time to make such an informative video says a lot about the character of your company. Thanks again for the video and the time I KNOW you had to take to make it, I watched the WHOLE THING . :)
Got the all-in-one, installed it with the previous great videos, made it to the end: thank you guys for all you have done for us. My Sub2000 is sweet and turns heads every time I bring it out. I always mention it's got all the upgrades from you guys and that's why it's on par or better than the other PCCs out there. Oorah - former Sgt USMC
I ordered a Kel Tec upgraded from Mcarbo a few weeks ago. It made sense to just buy the full package from mcarbo. Ordered the Glock 19 version. Watched the whole video
I'm very impressed with this video. You broke it down "Barney Style", I must say. Thank you for the clarity. In fact, I'm a new customer to MCARBO due to this video. A one stop shop for all personalizing I'm going to do with my new sub. I'll probably go with a vertical fore grip though. 🤔 Great job seriously.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I made it! Really good and informative video. These are really cool firearms and cant say enough about the detail and fun OCD-edness you took the time to share. Great, Thanks million!
I bought a bunch of MCARBO parts. I watched the video and had to order more parts! I really appreciate your in depth discussion on each component. As a novice, I needed that instruction on how my rifle even works. Thank you. Now do the KS7.
Watched the entire video, exceptionally through, thank you first for your service to our great country, and for an excellent video, info, incomparable parts and service. I just purchased the full kit for my kel tec pmr 30 and had zero issues now looking forward to this complete kit for my sub 2000. Way to go guys, talk about a home run. Looking forward to more videos and I'm now a subscriber.
Just ordered mine and I'm already looking at upgrades! You'll be hearing from me soon. Thanks for the great video, I like doing my own work and this was a great tutorial! I'll be back!
Amazing video, watched the whole thing even though it took me about 4 hours and lots of rewinds to get it all done. Couldn't do it without your guidance, chief. MANY THANKS!
Watched the whole thing. Great video! I just bought a Gen 2, G17/22 a couple of days ago. It's my 6th Kel-tec firearm. While doing the paperwork at my FFL, I told myself that the gun would stay stock... ...Then I watched a bunch of MCARBO videos. My new rear sight is already in the mail! I want an optics mount too, but I just can't get over the idea of having that chunk of metal hanging off the side; taking away from the compact and slim profile. In any case, I'm going to order everything else shortly. Thank you for producing such outstanding content and accessories.
I just bought a Sub2k and immediately started looking up videos on it and found this one, watched all the way through and can say that as soon as I get the money its coming strait to you guys ♥
Wow....almost 2 1/2 hours. I started around 12:40 and it's now 3am. I had no idea the video would be this long but I couldn't stop watching. I appreciate the time you took to make the video and the tips and tricks as well as the little details which should make my upgrades a breeze. Great Job Chris !
Thanks Brother, glad to hear it was that helpful! There was a lot to cover and I wanted to make sure nothing was left out on this one. Really don't want to make another video this long again! Haha.
@@MCARBO Well it's 2 years later and I watched it again. This time to actually do the All-In-One install. Everything went perfectly except for when the hammer slammed my fingernail. 😫 My Sub is now completely tricked out. It was a fun project. Well done again on the Video. 👍
Watched the whole video. Great job! Just ordered all of the internal upgrade parts for my sub and a few extras. Can’t wait to feel the difference! Keep up the good work!
I watched the whole video and it was great!! I've been thinking about another PCC, and I think this is the one for me.You guys did an awesome job on the upgrades. Very nicely done!
Why a plastic feed ramp? The one on my PMR30 was melted after 3 range trips. I put in a stainless steel one. Will do the same for the S2K and trigger job.
This video played a big part in why I purchased the 2000, I will be ordering all the parts in the video and be doing the complete overhaul on it while watching this! I just hope I get it right the first time! Watched the whole thing! Thank you guys!
MCARBO Out of impulse I ordered a bunch of the external parts from y’all last night, once I order the pro bundle next week and install I will update! This will be my first parts install myself!
Watched it to the end and really enjoyed all the work done to make such an informative video. Currently waiting for all parts to arrive for my Sub2000 so I can do my upgrades. Replacing springs, trigger and trigger guard, trigger bar and hammer bushing. Also ordered the stainless steel feed ramp! Wishing I had ordered everything in one order, so I could get them all at the same time! Should have all upgrades installed before end of Feb 2024.
Cool! I made a last round bolt hold open and indicator, plus extra mag holder and stock keeper.. Both of myne are now superstars.. lol Keltec's can ROCK!
New to MCARBO: Happy Shooting! Just so you know I made it all they way through the 2+ hour video!! I'm brand new to your channel. I found your channel because I was researching why my recent inherited P-30 was jamming with with the magazine. Not new to guns, but I have a new spark & passion for shooting. My dad unexpectedly passed away 2 years ago and left behind a few Kel-Tech firearms. Since then, I've taken up shooting and looks like I'll start collecting my own as well. I am so very satisfied and pleased with your level of detail and not glossing over things a newbie might miss. I appreciate your delivery and thoroughness. I will be ordering my Sub-2000 very soon. If you have any recommendations for my first purchase from MCARBO, I'm all ears.
Watched the whole thing but I do admit I FFed through the parts I already installed or have no intention of putting on. This was a fantastic video for the detail and closeup shots. Thanks for making a pretty cool weapon into an awesome tool!
When installing my full kit I watched the old video, and I didn't understand the correct orientation the hammer spring was supposed to go in when installing the new one. Just went shooting today and roughly half my rounds wouldn't fire.. Looking at the primer on each round you could tell the firing pin wasn't hitting very hard. I opened everything up and it looks like I had the new hammer spring on incorrectly (the broken corner was facing up, not down). I went ahead and just put the stock spring back on (this time in the correct orientation) as I figure the extra tension will help prevent misfires by having the firing pin hit just that much harder. Still have not tested it out to see if it's fixed, though. Either way, I should have watched this video instead of the old one! Regardless, I appreciate MCarbo going to all the detail in this video. They're really good guys and I'm glad they have all these upgrades for this gun. Thanks guys!
Yeah, watched the whole thing. Life long gun addict. Been watching the Sub 2000 for a while, but when I saw the MCarbo Sub 2000, that put me over the top. I ordered one. Still questioning my choise of the curved trigger. Gonna call the folks at MCarbo to get the low down on the advantages of each style trigger. Can't wait to get my hands on it & waste a couple thousand rounds at the range!
Curved vs flat is 90% personal preference but flat triggers offer more consistency if you either require it or don't have proper form in muscle memory.
If your SUB2K has the CA grip fin, you may have difficulty getting the grip screws out. One side comes out, and the other is stuck in the threaded sleeve. Try putting a larger Allen wrench in the hole, one just big enough to fit. Push down on the firearm to press the Allen wrench against the bench while removing the stuck screw from the side facing up. I hope this helps.
Still deciding if I want the CQB or just the standard Sub2000. The video was great to help me decide on which rifle and which upgrades. Will probably do my own installs. Looks like fun.
Made it to the end! You inspired me to order a lot of upgrades which I now have the confidence to install myself. Would not have done it without the video. Thanks!
Like now you have all the mods together, added polishing on the trigger and sear was great, now I see I have to some polishing to do when I do the hammer bushing. I saved it as I know at least one new Sub 2K owner that will want my help, Also great for a full cleaning to help you put it back together, I watched it all just as refresher, Great Job Chris
I watched the entire video. I loved it. So, I just pick one one these plinkers up and would like it tricked out. I'll head over to your website by the end of the week in order to get my build started. Tyvm
Just picked up my mcarbo s2 yesterday and I've been admiring it all morning - just watched this (all the way through!) to see how it was put together. Looks amazing - can't wait to stand in line for ammo this week and take it to the range.
I made it. Thanks for putting the time in. I have all the internal upgrades and some of the external. I am using Sig p320 magazines. Struggling with stovepipes on the last round. Do you have any upgrades for that problem? Maybe something for the magazines. Different Follower or spring?
