This was the hardest thing to do so much so that I now have to take it to a gunsmith. I also ordered another spring just incase... Maybe consider selling the spring and pin connected.
If you hate the factory charging handle because of how skinny it is and hard to grasp this is definitely the upgrade for you. You wont regret it!
This is the must have / #1 upgrade for the sub2k, in my opinion. Works great!
easy install, after watching the instructions works as advertised.
I watched the installation vid a few times.. A no go for me. But I came up w an easier solution to compress the spring ..The small allen key was a critical part. I used two. Compressed in a few steps. Alternating allen keys to get the right amt. I used
The charging handle and tool-less locking pin are great add ons for the Sub-2000 GEN2 but let me tell you, the installation of the locking pin is a flat b**ch!!! Would have given 5* if not for that. Great products and yes I would recommend!!! Thanks MaCarbo!!!
There is a great amount of quality into this item! Smooth edges and extremely solid feel, not to mention super fast shipping! Thank you!
With 3 to chose from it was a tough decision. After installing and using it I am glad I chose the Recoilless charging handle. I did not notice much of a recoil reduction, but there is not much recoil to begin with. What I did notice is it makes the weapon easier to cock or charge. I found the factory charge handle can pinch your finger between the buffer tube and the handle. Looking at all 3 of the Mcarbo ones it looks as though all of them have been designed to avoid the finger pinch of the factory one. Glad I stuck with the low profile one, as this is a moving part I could see the length of the 2 finger charge handle catching on clothing or a body part (ouch) which would cause the gun to have a malfunction. Fast shipping, great customer service, quality parts
This was my first modifications and by far the hardest. If I had to do it over again I would just as soon pay for the spring already connected to the new style pin. To be honest it was partially my fault as I didn't have the correct tools for the job. After trying for over an hour and a half to place the new pin on the spring, I was exhausted and sweating. I did this completely using brute force and wished I had 3 hands for this part of it. Once the pin is connected to the recharge spring it was a breeze. Anyway, maybe they could sell the spring with that new pin already attached? I would've gladly paid a little more for that.
the Sub2000 is not forgiving ... sore shoulder and bruised cheeks ... nothing to absorb the recoil. I added some of your accessories, the recoilless charging handle, the recoil buffer, and the tube cover, and now very fun to shoot, and recoil is about like my AR's. I added the rear sight upgrade which also gives me a more natural sight line. This is now a fun shooter and a good 'get of town' weapon!
this adds noticeable weight to the firearm but it smooths out the cycling a lot. i get a better hold on it when charging, too, compared with stock.
You’ll be surprised by the robust design and it’s a heavy little guy.
