I have installed all of these upgrade parts in my PMR30 and now I have a very reliable pistol which makes a great carry weapon. Thanks Guys !!
had a little trouble at first but got it all together first mag all 30 fired then put some ww amo in two problems in 30 rounds i thought the kit was going to fix this only put two mags in Maby needs more brake in has anyone else had this problem is cci the only ammo that will work even after the kit
I installed everything in the full kit, but the new springs. I couldn't get the old wire off. I bought a new rod/spring assembly from Kel-tec. After many feed issues with the 5yr old 40 grain ammo, I ran some 45 grain federal punch. I never had a feed afterwards! I did the upgrade for this specific ammo. I left after ~3minutes in the range. they didn't even charge me. Watch the video and look at the solid structural part they thought of making. The magazine is tight, unlike the video (haha). I'm telling you not to hold off on this kit!
Before: Newer gun with 400 rounds thru it, at least one FTF on Every. Single. Mag. .... disappointing. After: Full kit arrived on Thursday, three hours to install on Saturday (videos ESSENTIAL), 300 rounds on Sunday, ZERO problems or FTFs .... fantastico! Looking forward to metal mags - thanks to everyone at M*CARBO
I can tell you I am very impressed with Mcarbo fast shipping. My order was received quickly, all my parts were well packaged and marked. I am very excited to get them installed and throw some lead. I am sure I will be completely satisfied with the upgraded parts. Thanks Mcarbo and all our Vets!
I sure hope the product is as good as claims, would be nice to install it. I’ve been waiting for 12 days now and the product hasn’t left their facility. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I’m at 9 business days since I’ve ordered and paid for my product and they still have it.
Resently installed the combo kit! What a difference!! Just give them your money....it's worth it!! My PMR-30 is now my favorite pistol!! Video was top notch!!
I purchased the bundle and mag release and the parts were obviously made with more precision and stronger materials. The installation video was a God send and made transferring the parts a breeze. Most difficulty was getting the two halves of pistol grip to slide back together, but the tool provided was a great help. The video and live explanation was dead on accurate. I had to take the pistol apart twice to adjust the trigger, but it was well worth the work. It's fast and smooth. Can't wait to get a new buffer when it comes available. Buy the upgrade parts and enjoy a great shooting experience.
Installed my pmr 30 all in 1 kit last night. Not that hard. The information on the installation video was spot on. The feed ramp looks fabulous after a little extra love. I can’t wait to try it out this weekend. Thanks guys for the great products.
Bought this for my KELTECH PMR, also bought the ramp, trigger and mag release for my CMR. Delivered two days after ordering. Decided to do the CMR first, but no instruction / video for the CMR. Decided to wing-it and used the PMR video - how different can they be? Well, they ARE, but with Mikes EXCELLENT narrative and visuals, I was able to figure out what was different and how to deal with it. Not hard. Installation of the three items took about three hours, but that was with LOTS of reviewing what was where and how things were different, etc. Could be done in an hour if i just went ahead and did it. Difference is 100% - MUCH better trigger pull and release - still long, but definitely an improvement. Mag release is outstanding - SOLID and no wobble/give. Feed Ramp EXCEPTIONAL. Went through four 30 round mags of CCI without one Feed or Firing issue. The ENTIRE experience with M*CARBO has been TOP NOTCH. I'm impressed. And if a Squid can do it, you won't have ANY issues. PMR on the agenda for tomorrow, and the SUB2000 Sunday. I look forward to the experience, and more so to the Firing Line.
I followed the video directions (had my iPad on the workbench to follow along step by step). All went as planned with two exceptions. 1st, when I started to "pry" the shell apart after removing all screws, it basically flew apart, as if spring loaded. Fortunately I found all the parts, but I did not get the opportunity to study the assembly as the video recommends. I proceeded with the install, and all went per the video except the main spring. Reconnecting it to the pin in the frame was much more difficult than the video shows, and when I did get it on the pin, it pulled the hammer/sear assembly out of its pin at the top of the frame, after several frustrating efforts, I finally reinstalled the safety screw on that side to hold that assembly in place until I got the frame back together, then took it out to install the new safety selector. I am impressed with the quality and fit of all the parts. My buffer did not pop into place as the video shows, but it fits perfectly and I am sure will function as advertised. I now have the gun ready to shoot, and just need to go to the range. If I don't update my review, that means all went well at the range.
Just back from first time shooting the PMR. I can’t vouch for the pistol as-is, for I had the M-Carbo Pro Bundle parts kit installed by a Kel-Tec gunsmith right after purchasing it. New feed ramp, buffer, recoil spring, trigger…the works. If the PMR has reliability problems out of the box, I can’t attest. But today, I fired 300 rounds through the M-Carbo PMR and it never missed a beat. I fired both 40 grain Remington HP and Hornady 30 grain Vmax. Kel-tec does not recommend firing 30 grain ammo for reliability issues but it functioned just fine. The loader tool from MCarbo helped in loading the mags, especially the last 5 rounds, and kept the rims from overlapping. Accuracy was outstanding, but muzzle whip and blast were both pretty dramatic and affected aim. The blast, especially with the 30 grain, was enough to blow around what little hair I have left. The MCarbo trigger was very light and I shot more than one accidental double-tap before getting used to it. Once I got used to all of this, the thing shot like a laser beam. Dumping the whole 30 round magazine in a few seconds in a 12 inch group at less than 20 yards is no problem. Long story short, I love this gun. Haven’t had this much fun shooting in a LONG time. Shipping the gun and parts kit to Kel-Tec was definitely a pain; prepare yourself to be treated like a criminal at FedEx or UPS if you decide on their pro installation (which was completed in a week).
Video is very helpful. Kit should include recoil spring catch. A whole new guide assembly would be great. CCI MaxiMag and Remington Magnum Rimfire JHP had no problems. Winchester 40gr JHP had multiple failures to eject. Shell in ejector and next round trying to feed.
If you want the best performance you can get from your PMR30 you have to do this upgrade. After the installation I put 3 30 round magazines through my PMR 30 as fast as I could pull the trigger and zero jams or failures to feed. AWESOME.
I just used the video for installation of the Combo Pack for my KelTec PMR30. Chris did a great job explaining how to perform the upgrade. It is the clearest instructional video I have ever used! The quality of the parts I received were also, top-notch. I highly recommend any part MCarbo offers.
