KEL-TEC SUB-2000 Optic Mount

My KelTec Sub2000 doesn’t quite fit my face for using the iron sights. The ability to use an optic makes this a “must have” accessory.

Amazing quality and functionality. Highly recommended fir all to get 1!!!

   

I love this product it allows me to keep the folding function of the gun and still have my red dot optics. And allows me to fold the gun and slip in my backpack without any problems. I’m a happy camper.

     

Appreciate the mission, the available parts, the information/installation support, and the quick shipping. Ordered a handful of accessories for the Sub. Installation pending. Thanks M*CARBO

Thank you for M Carbo, a very attentive and good company, it produces ideal things for the Kel Tek Sub 2000, and for other models, everything fits perfectly, worth the price. Thank you.

Easy to assemble/mount and works great with Vortex red dot. Adding furniture to this bugout gun is really fun. Ordering muzzle break shortly and probably new trigger.
Thanks!

       

As of right now there appear to be three different options for optics mounting that allow a Gen 2 Sub 2000 to fold. There is one that mounts to the Mlok slots in the side of the rails, but that option isn't as secure because the mlok rails are plastic. The other one is a rotating handguard, which I haven't tried.

This mount allows the optic to flip away to the side, getting it out of the way soothe rifle can fold. Unfortunately, depending on the optic size, it can more than triple the thickness of the rifle when folded. It's otherwise a good option, especially if you are more concerned with length than width when folding the Sub 2000.

Another advantage of this option is since the mounting location is closer to the rifles rear sight, you can use optics with less eye relief than is required for rail mounting. It gets the optic at least 4 inches closer to your eye than anything mounted to the rail.

It is held in the shooting position under spring power, so if you put any pressure on the sight while aiming, it could move it out of zero until the pressure is removed.

I think if I were going to redesign this, I'd use a spring loaded hinge that you push the sight rearward against the spring to unlock a wedge cut into the hinge, then pivot the sight away and have a detent that holds it in place. This would make for a positive repeatable lockup while in the shooting position and would be unaffected by pressure on the sight.

It still wouldn't solve the problem of thickness while folded. It's a compromise, but a worthwhile one if you want a mounted optic. If you can't fold the Sub 2000, it really loses a ton of its appeal and utility.

So a product like this is really almost essential. If only there were a way to deal with the optic while folded. I suppose the simplest answer is a quick detach .ount for the optic than can be clamped to the bottom rail while folded and the top rail while shooting, but it's a lot slower, and you lose the advantage of getting it closer to your eye.

Now that the Gen 3 Sub 2000 is out, this problem has been tackled by KelTec. But for those of us with Gen 2, this is among the better options.

Fast delivery. Straight forward easy to follow directions and install.
