Installed, and what a difference in charging the Sub, and it doesn't bite like the stock charging handle. It did "soften" the recoil as advertised.
Those extra 2 ounces make a noticeable difference. I shot it with the buffer and tube cover and it was much better. I shot it today with the heavy bolt and it was very pleasant. If you have the .40 I’d recommend the pad, recoiless charging handle and heavy bolt.
While I was warned about the potential troubles for us geezer types, I order the recoil-less charging handle. It was a bit tricky as you warned in the thorough installation video, it was doable with the right tools. The videos are a real resource for the novice gunsmith. You made the upgrade tasks easy, straightforward and successful.
Just got this in the mail and couldn't wait to install it. Very well made and has a great feel to it. I'll be taking the weapon to the range in the next few days to give it a try. Very quick delivery and looks and feels to be very good craftsmanship. Thank you.
.40 s&w sub2000 has hardly any recoil thanks to the recoiless charging handle in combination with the recoil spring buffer
I watched the whole video, which may be long, but the detail in the video made it take a total of 90 seconds on my first try. Thanks for the video and a great part!
He's not joking when he says wear your eye pro for this. I undid the cap and it shot right in between my eyes with enough force to break the skin. Now my wire rod is all the way down in the spring and I have to figure out how to compress it like this.
I have to admit that I needed to watch the installation video to install the pin into the recoil spring, it made the process much easier. I have 2 KelTek sub 2K carbines, I purchased this charging handle for one and went to compare with the stock charging handle. To be honest, I never thought recoil on the rifle was an issue, but the weighted charging handle did make a difference. As an added bonus, I am a left handed shooter and the gases coming out of the stock rifle were annoying to point that I would shoot it right handed. The weighted charging handle seemed to reduce the ejection port gasses to an unnoticeable level! Win, Win. I will be ordering another for the second carbine.
MCARBO hits it out of the park with this one! I paired this with the recoil buffer and that small child that was punching me in shoulder is GONE! Follow up shots are easier, recoil is almost non-existent. The feel of this handle compared to the stock one is night and day. No more pinching, no rough edges. Very solid piece. If you are on the fence on this one, JUST BUY IT!
The install, as as advertised, is a pain in the a$$. More so if you don't have great handstrength or patience with the spring. Watch the install video, especially when it comes to the trick with installing the locking pin on the spring end. Just accept youre probably not going to get it first attempt unless you have strong and agile hands. Took me 4 or 5 attempts and some improvised tools before I got it. After you finish it, well worth it. Serious difference in recoil feel and zero concerns about the handle falling out in a competition or defensive situation when you can't afford for a failure.
Quality products as well as quick shipping. Now I'm eye balling the flat trigger and spring kit, where do you stop, ha ha!
Feels good when charging the weapon and helps felt recoll , thanks
Good product but charging handle did choke up as I thought. Took a few tries unlike YouTube video to get screw set. Added a little weight but only ounces. I added this charging handle with the muzzle break and the washer. Worked like a charm. To me reducing recoil is better then lowering the tigger weight but only my opinion. Helped with felt recoil and muzzle rise. Making reaquiring the target for my second shot and beyond easier. Would recommend to but as a set. Didn’t try without the break and washer.
Watched video (which was also great) and had charging handle and locking pin installed in 10 min. Took longer to fire up laptop, find web site, and startup video. As usual I find that I can trust M*CARBO to produce excellent products and deliver them on time. Praying this next year will be prosperous for the guys at M*CARBO!
Installation was super easy until I got to the locking pin. Didn’t have the proper grease to hold the pin on the screw driver so it took me awhile and a few special words to get the pin in place.
Definitely noticed a reduction in recoil while at the range. My red dot hardly jumps around at all when shooting. Great product.
