I had a PLR16 a couple years ago, was not to impressed with the rifle overall. Eventually traded it. Bought a sub2000 about the same time, now that was a awesome gun. Mine was the same s&w 5900 mags. Wish I kept it, but someone made me a offer I could not refuse.

Why? I'm not doubting your opinion, but I find it helpful if people say why they weren't impressed. Originally, I hated mine...turns out using metal GI mags or maybe it was just C-Products mags turned it into a straightpull bolt action. Pmags or reworked metal mags and it "runs like a raped ape" to quote our resident 'smith guru.

Does anyone know where you can even try to order a sub2k? I've been looking for a while and haven't even gotten close.

In the current climate there's no such thing as "ordering" things just show up and dealers are happy to get it

Best bet would be talk to a few of the bigger shops and find one that will let you put a deposit down on the next one.

I own PLR-16, Sub2k Glock 19 version, PMR30 and SU-16 by Kel-Tec. Desperate to get the KSG (on waiting list), RFB and the RMR 30. Bummer by the time I get my hands on any of the three the darn AWB be PASSED. I keep Praying someone gets their heads out of their @$$es.

Meant to type SU16. Anyways the sights just flat out suck, and even with an optic and good ammo mine shot groups like a mini-14. It ran ok, but had some fail to fires that I could not diagnose, had to send it back. To their credit they fixed it under warranty, but wish I just had gotten a ar15.

That's good to hear. I been hoping Kel Tec should be making some new shipments soon.

Been looking for a sub-2000 myself for awhile. But not paying gunbroker prices.

I just bought a PLR-16 and I can't wait for the paperwork to come back so that I can play. I found mine on Gun Broker because I had a hard time finding one local.

Looking for awhile here too, no luck so far

I'm in the same boat as you. Got mine at the new msar a week after they opened. Now on day 31 of my paperwork wait. I'm dying to play with it. :gun7:

A guy just bought a Beretta 9mm sub2k at On Target today for $369 plus stuff. He was kind of bummed that it was Beretta and not Glock because he had a bunch of Glock stuff...I kindly pointed out that he *should* be able to change it with a few parts from Kel-Tec. He was happy about that. Knowing things is neat

They had one sitting on the rack?? Or he had ordered it? I went in there a few days ago and did not see a single gun without a SOLD tag.

Nobody can order anything with any reliability in this environment. I figure it was just sitting on the shelf...if I had been an hour earlier it would have been mine...and gone right up on Gunbroker. Happy this guy got it for himself though.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. The Glock mag one won't switch with any of the others.
