Extended safety is awesome Extended slide stop is awesome Mag loader is awesome Recoil springs were meh. Ended up putting originals back in, these replacements drug a little bit and took a set in 50 rds, ended up causing malfunctions (failure to feed) as it ended up with LESS power than original springs. Put originals back in and works great Feed ramp. Good and bad. It was a hair out of spec and provided friction on the slide stop lever causing it to not function. Took just a hair off the side where the slide stop lever slides and now it works fine. Really not sure if this is needed or not compared to the original feed ramp as I didn't have any problems with the original feed ramp, but it IS well made, was just a tiny bit oversize and NOT a drop in for MY gun. HD buffer. Awesome Mag release replacement. #1 best part in here hands down HD cross pin. Meh. Kinda a solution looking for a problem. Trigger. Its good, but adds a bunch of complexity to fix a problem which was not a problem on my gun. My pistol had a darn near perfect trigger as it came. I took this part back out to adhere to the KISS principle. Overall, try your gun first. You may not want half the stuff in here. For me, for MY gun, I only ended up using the safety, slide stop button, mag release and I actually put the original feed ramp back in as after 200rds through the gun with the original ramp and 200rds with the new ramp, there was no difference. Each worked perfectly. Doing it over I would do this one piece at a time starting with the mag release. Functionally, that may be all you need.
Purchased the all in one pro kit for my KEL TEC PMR 30 at M*carbo facility in Pinellas Park. Delivered weapon to them. I figured this was their kit and that they would install correctly. Well, a week later they called me and said it was done. I was very happy. I made the 2 hour one way trip back to their facility and pickup the gun. Their people I talked to were very nice. Well 2 days later, I take it to the range. I get 20 rounds through the first magazine and the trigger pull gets stiff and gun jams. Clear jam, not happy, shoot a few more rounds trigger pull difficult. Check weapon and find the trigger overrun set screw has worked its way loose. I found I can turn it with my fingers ( no locate obviously). I screw it in so trigger works correctly. Now, I call Mcarbo and tell them of my disappointment in their gunsmithing service they do apologize ( nice people). They say I can bring it back. I figure why trust them. It's easier to just do it myself, now I have to redo the whole install to make sure they didn't miss anything else for my piece of mind. You can't access the trigger preset screw without disassembly. I should have just ordered the kit saved myself a lot of driving and installed it myself. Kit good, Service very poor. I hate it that you cannot trust the people to install their own product.

Everything is "As advertised". Good quality parts, easy install. Mcarbo seems to be a bit slow on response to email questions (that's why they didn't get 5 stars on this review. Good product though.
Now if only Kel Tec will use all of M*CARBO's upgrades and put out gen 2 of the pmr30 with a magazine release that clears the magwell, whether metal or weighted composite or whatever.
My wife got the All in One Bundle for me for Christmas. I watched the video and decided to install myself. The trigger and feed ramp were fine. Follow the video closely and you will not have trouble with them. The Mag Catch was so tight on the Mag Catch Axis that it would stick in whatever position it was moved to. when I released a mag it would not catch the next mag. It would have to be manually pushed back into position. The spring simply could not overcome the tight fit. I'm sure it was installed correctly because I had just finished installing one on my CMR30 and it works fine. The recoil spring is a real challenge. I would definitely recommend removing your OEM spring assembly from the slide and sending it to MCARBO or KEL-TEC to install. The video does a good job of showing the process but removal of the Recoil Spring Guide Lock Ring will drive you mad. I succeeded but only after losing the original Ring and almost losing the Recoil Spring Catch. Luckily they included a new replacement for the Lock Ring or I would failed. A recommendation for MCARBO to try: Use a small clamp or vise-grip pliers on the Recoil Spring Guide to hold the compressed springs in place while working to remove the Lock Ring and when replacing the Lock Ring after installing and compressing the springs. (Naturally I did not think of this until I finished.) If MCARBO can validate this then I recommend adding it to the video. Haven't been able to get to a range to try it yet, but I'm very optimistic!
With the installation Vid the combo kit went pretty smoothly. The only thing I struggled with was getting the spring on the feed ramp to hook into the slide bar.
With the amount of communication from M*Carbo, to the instruction video or printed out direction and last the quality of parts, rating beyond 5 stars.
I bought all the upgrades for my KELTEC PMR30 A little expensive but well worth every penny... Pistol is now a fine shooting machine... Made me like the pistol even more...
This improved feed issues and curred ammo pickiness.
Everything fix perfect. The install was fairly easy using the install video. I did use the extra power recoil spring but the piece of wire used as the retainer sucks. If that issue was fixed the bundle would be perfect. After the install I fired 200 rounds with 100% function. I would buy it again but probably not use the recoil spring because of the wire retainer. The one that came with the bundle would not stay on. I had to use the old one good thing I didn't wreck it taking it off.
This was a great bundle including everything you need to make the upgrade. The order was initially back ordered but was shipped quickly once they received it. The installation video was the best thing ever guiding you through the steps. Sure wish you guys would create a buffer for the PMR30 !! Regards, Dave
Video makes for easy install. Awesome trigger. PMR-30 cycles extremely well with 40gr and 95% with 30gr as long as you load magazines by hand. Had many FTF’s using the mag loader.
So I have continually done my home repairs to this pistol to get it to function properly, works for a while till another issue appears, I was looking for another fix online to the slide lock button that continually falls off when I stumbled upon M-Carbo all in one bundle. The instruction video is amazing, I watched it a couple of times, and was comfortable to complete the repairs on my own! Gun has functioned fantastically, I only had a couple of failures, I think that was due to the rounds seated in the magazine not to the parts replacement. Also gave the the ability to place a pin in the slide button to secure it in place by removing the slide stop brazement. and finally I sanded the underside of the slide cover to free the firing pin from sticking. Gun is awesome, and M Carbo customer support is top notch.
Anyone with the PMR30 should consider getting this upgrade...nice quality and easy to install. No more jams, shoots full clips with no problems.
Just finished installing the bundle. Easy to install especially with the video tutorials.
The only difficulty I had was getting the spring end in the tiny hole, but other than that, it was duck soup to get everything installed. I polished to ramp with the supplied grit, but took it a bit further by using an 8,000 grit followed by a 50,000 grit. I doubt it improves the function, but you can comb your hair using the ramp.
