Review
I bought the PMR-30 sorta on an impulse buy, thinking man this thing looks interesting, and 30 rounds? Bought.. well as I found out shortly after that, this POS consistently fails to feed. After a few hours of fiddling, and some incredibly unhelpful YouTube videos, I came across MCARBOs breakdown and full kit video. Watched about half of it, said eh what can it hurt to try. The day the kit arrived in the mail, I disassembled the gun, using the video as reference, installed the kit, using the video as reference, (super super informative, by the way) gave er a little frog grease on the action and then proceeded to mag dump 60 rounds out of the back door without a sing jam… (also watched the video on how to do that hahaha) 10/10 the best thing I’ve purchased kit wise for any gun I own. Completely changed this gun. Made it fully functional, and fully fun. If you’re reading this review to gauge if you should buy it or not, do it. Just make sure you’re not a scrub and loose springs
big improvements in pmr30. would do again without hesitation. highly recommend
Range day!!! Fired cci hp+v 30gr 2200fps, cci polymer tip 3030gr 2200fps, cci tnt green 3030gr 2050fps, Winchester jacketed hp 4030gr 1910fps and win. full metal jacket 40gr 1910fps. Ran 100%!!! Great product, keep up the great work.
Got my up grade for my pmr 30 everything work well and insulation was easy with the video only problem was the guide rod spring retainer clip was to large for my guide rod I cut it down and made it work without to much problem
I purchased the PMR-30 kit and received it quickly. As KEL-TEC is an hours drive, I made arrangements to have them install the kit. The wife and I made a day of it. We arrived before lunch, met with KEL-TEC who by the way are the most gracious people. They suggested a place to eat while they did the install and tested the weapon. We returned after eating in a water side restaurant that was a most pleasant time. KEL-TEC had completed the install. They praised the modification. We were all happy and the drive home was great. Thanks to M*CARBO and KEL-TEC, job well done!
I'm going to begin my review and rating at 4 stars, only because I have not had the opportunity to test the PMR-30 after I completed the installation. More to follow after actually firing the gun. * The packaging was excellent, no fumbling around trying to identify or locate parts. * I highly recommend that at a minimum you watch the M-CARBO assembly video on Youtube. I placed my laptop on my workbench and followed the instructions every step of the way, often stopping and replaying key segments of the clip to insure I was doing things properly. * For me there were three portions of the process which I found tricky and required additional time to work through - a) Getting the trigger assembly and spring set and seated properly b) Getting the feed-ramp and spring set and seated properly c) Alignment and reassembly of the two halves of the gun after installation of the internal components It took me approximately three hours to complete the bundle installation, with stopping and re-watching the relevant video segments multiple times. My mechanical assembly skills are probably average and I had all the right tooling. I'm excited to get out to the range to test my upgraded PMR-30, if it runs as well as the upgraded gun in the video I will be thrilled with my purchase. In summary: The high quality components were well packaged, excellent video instruction, reasonable price. Just what my PMR-30 needed!
all of the components of this upgrade work as advertised, be sure to follow along with the installation video as it could be a very hard project without it.
Kit looks top notch. Have yet to install it. Communication with MCARBO was quick and easy. They answered all my questions and their product looks better than I expected. Will post again after installation and break in.
Good kit, trigger took a bit to adjust. Gun works great now. Parts are well made.
This upgrade is awesome now that I have installed and test fired multiple types of Ammo in my Pmr30. The feed ramp spring was the only difficult part of the install but thanks to MCARBO for the spring tool and Alan keys made install easy. Before the upgrade my pmr30 was jamming on all sorts of ammo almost every time another round was being racked. Not one failure to feed on CCI, HORNADY, FEDERAL ETC.. With this bundle package upgrade. Great price and fast shipping. Thank you to everyone at MCARBO! Sincerely, R.W.NELSON
Happy with the parts, I think. Sent my PMR-30 with replacement feed ramp, springs, trigger and mag. release to Kel Tec on April 6th. They acknowledged receipt on 4/7 but no activity to date. I had no idea it would take more than 20 days to even start the parts replacement. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer.
Now that I have installed this upgrade on my Kel-Tec PMR30, I’m a believer. MCARBO is the Shelby/Hennessy of guns. If you know cars, you’ll understand my reference. As for installation, it’s not the easiest. I am a mechanic, so that helped. I do recommend sending it to a gunsmith if you are mediocre at tinkering. If your wife asks you to fix things around the house and you call a service technician, you shouldn’t be doing this install. That said, I completed the build in under two hours and the video helped. Ran a few mags through it with some failures, but that was was likely due to some breaking in, loading the mags incorrectly, and just overall newness of the gun. I highly recommend this kit and the the MCARBO Family. I look forward to getting more gear from MCARBO for my other firearms. Thanks MCARBO Team!
The kit came in and all parts clearly identified . The online instruction video was excellent and I had no problem installing the entire kit , I took my time , did it in an hour and half . A 1000% difference in the way the pistols , fires and cycles . Would recommend this kit if you wanted to upgrade your PMR
I had no issues installing the kit. Some things took a bit of patience and perseverance, but overall pretty easy to install. The red trigger adds a bit of flare to the gun and tell others modifications have been done. The new feed ramp is a no brainer and should have been installed in new guns before the sale. I hope that will be the case. My gun functions smoothly and only have had one minor hiccup using Gold Speers. I've used 5 different ammo brands with no for seeable issues. I hope to wear the gun out in the next few years. Fun to shoot.
Everything fit very tight. That being said my mag release after I replaced it on my gun. It did not function properly. It wouldnt spring back out( yes I had the spring the right way). I found that part was alittle to wide because when I started taking the screws loose in the handle. The mag release worked fine. A little light sanding and work fine. All the other part fit perfect. Great company great parts. Will buy from again
I absolutely hated my my PMR30. Jam every other shot even though I took the time to slow load the magazines, it was so frustrating!! A friend told me about the MCARBO kit which I ordered. That same day. When the kit came I took it to a gunsmith and 3 days later I had the best running PMR30’s in 3 county’s!! It’s well worth the 240.00. I don’t know why Keltec does that just install the kits? Great job and thank you, MCARBO!!
