Description

KEL-TEC SUB-2000 Optic Mount

Two Optic Mount Options Available:

  • Right Handed - Mounts to the left side of the SUB-2000, allowing off-hand operation.
  • Left Handed - Mounts to the right side of the SUB-2000, also for off-hand operation.

This SUB-2000 optic mount offers a robust base that connects directly through the SUB-2000 handguard, making it a premier choice for those wanting to integrate a red dot optic on their KEL-TEC SUB-2000 without compromising the firearm's folding functionality.

Extensively tested, the mount ensures consistent and repeatable zero retention even after repeated usage.

It's compatible with most popular red dot optics that attach to a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny Rail.

Looking for a reliable scope mount for your KEL-TEC SUB-2000? The M*CARBO Optic Mount is your ideal choice.

Additionally, if you're seeking a red dot for this mount, we recommend the Sig Sauer version of the Holosun Romeo5 Red Dot. We've tested four of these on our mounts with excellent results. The specific model is the Sig Sauer SOR52001 Romeo5 1x20mm Compact 2 Moa Red Dot Sight in black, which offers great value for its price.

Reviews

review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
The flip up mount is theoretically a great idea. You just have to make sure your optic will work with it. My optic is too tall for the mount. The reason the height matters is because the optic hits the frame of the mount when I tip it to get it onto the rail. As such, I can’t tip the optic enough to get it onto the rail. The only way this mount works with my optic is if I buy a mount for the right hand side of my gun, not the left hand side. That way, the mount has clearance for my optic to tip and go on the rail. End of the world. Maybe not. But I would have to operate the mount with my other hand, which I don’t want to do.

More important: This company is ridiculous. I’ve been trying to contact them to ask questions about this for over a week. Web site says they call back in 24-48 hours. I’ve left 3-4 messages over last 6-7 days (4-5 business days). Wen site says to email for quicker response. I’ve also sent at least 2 emails over last 5 business days. No reply to anything. That’s infuriating. I don’t see any reason to ever buy something from a company that refuses to be reachable by ANY method.

I have tried a number of Optics that have not worked, the +/- many were 50 MOA didn't center. I am going to buy a Romeo 5 because MCarbo said they have tested with it and it work reliably. Can you install it with the 1.41 riser or does it need a lower install. Please Advise because not all come with both options. Thanks, I really hate the sub200 sights and have upgraded this gun with a ton of mcarbo parts steel ramp, recoil buffer, ordered Aluminum trigger and guard, screws and receivers . But I really want to get this optic figured out. I have 2 AR, and 5 pistols all with optics. I have experience zeroing them, but the mcarbo optic plate has baffled me with some of the rifledots I like. Please advise about Romeo5. Thanks!

The left hand model flips out to the right. You do not need to remove your iron sights. The riser will work, but its best to use a lower mount.

Rather than permanently modifying your Sub2000, I would recommend using a rail riser to get your red dot higher up. It would also allow you to have your iron sights for backups.

Your video tutorial does not even mention the "shims" included in the kit. I felt no need for them in the installation. Why are they included and how would one install them?
newens August 26, 2022 1:22 AM
Answers
They are included because every firearm is different and some of the fore ends are not exactly the same so the shims are good to give it that little bit of extra clearance to straighten up the mount to keep it in line with the existing rails. There is a small instructional booklet to go through if you install and the optic mount is canted either way and the sight isn't properly aligned.

What is the max scope weight you recommend for use?
GoGoGadgetGun April 21, 2022 11:54 AM
Answers
We don't have a set number as far as weight recommendation, as our mount can hold and maintain zero with any optic/scope you can fit, but you will likely run into issues with rail length before having to worry about the weight itself. We have had some customers mount an extended rail on the optic mount in order to then mount a longer scope, and have had good results with it maintaining zero even with that added weight. We would just advise a little added caution if/when flipping a larger setup like that out to the side to fold the rifle to avoid losing your grip and dropping the weapon.

December 30, 2021 7:13 PM
Answers
Hello, the Optic Mount Rail is approximately .350 - .375 inches higher than the polymer pic rail on the fore end. You should be able to add a riser to the fore end pic rail if you would like to make them even, but remember, mounting anything to the top of the fore end will prevent the folding ability of the rifle.

The flip up mount is theoretically a great idea. You just have to make sure your optic will work with it. My optic is too tall for the mount. The reason the height matters is because the optic hits the frame of the mount when I tip it to get it onto the rail. As such, I can’t tip the optic enough to get it onto the rail. The only way this mount works with my optic is if I buy a mount for the right hand side of my gun, not the left hand side. That way, the mount has clearance for my optic to tip and go on the rail. End of the world. Maybe not. But I would have to operate the mount with my other hand, which I don’t want to do.

More important: This company is ridiculous. I’ve been trying to contact them to ask questions about this for over a week. Web site says they call back in 24-48 hours. I’ve left 3-4 messages over last 6-7 days (4-5 business days). Wen site says to email for quicker response. I’ve also sent at least 2 emails over last 5 business days. No reply to anything. That’s infuriating. I don’t see any reason to ever buy something from a company that refuses to be reachable by ANY method.

The M*CARBO Sub 2000 Optic Mount is quality all around. Sturdy metal mount that maintains the zero of your optic mount as it flips out of the way of the carbines receiver section for compact folding. Thank you M*CARBO for your attention to detail in your aftermarket options. I will be back for some of the other upgrades!

Question:
I have tried a number of Optics that have not worked, the +/- many were 50 MOA didn't center. I am going to buy a Romeo 5 because MCarbo said they have tested with it and it work reliably. Can you install it with the 1.41 riser or does it need a lower install. Please Advise because not all come with both options. Thanks, I really hate the sub200 sights and have upgraded this gun with a ton of mcarbo parts steel ramp, recoil buffer, ordered Aluminum trigger and guard, screws and receivers . But I really want to get this optic figured out. I have 2 AR, and 5 pistols all with optics. I have experience zeroing them, but the mcarbo optic plate has baffled me with some of the rifledots I like. Please advise about Romeo5. Thanks!

The left hand model flips out to the right. You do not need to remove your iron sights. The riser will work, but its best to use a lower mount.

newens August 26, 2022 1:22 AM
Answers
0 0
They are included because every firearm is different and some of the fore ends are not exactly the same so the shims are good to give it that little bit of extra clearance to straighten up the mount to keep it in line with the existing rails. There is a small instructional booklet to go through if you install and the optic mount is canted either way and the sight isn't properly aligned.

GoGoGadgetGun April 21, 2022 11:54 AM
Answers
0 0
We don't have a set number as far as weight recommendation, as our mount can hold and maintain zero with any optic/scope you can fit, but you will likely run into issues with rail length before having to worry about the weight itself. We have had some customers mount an extended rail on the optic mount in order to then mount a longer scope, and have had good results with it maintaining zero even with that added weight. We would just advise a little added caution if/when flipping a larger setup like that out to the side to fold the rifle to avoid losing your grip and dropping the weapon.

Hello, the Optic Mount Rail is approximately .350 - .375 inches higher than the polymer pic rail on the fore end. You should be able to add a riser to the fore end pic rail if you would like to make them even, but remember, mounting anything to the top of the fore end will prevent the folding ability of the rifle.
