    Agreed.
    Worst gun I own by a long shot. I hate shooting it but I'll never sell it only because I can put it in a gym bag when they haul me off to FEMA camp.
    Since I put the mcarbo stuff on mine, it’s not so bad. The suppressed one is actually fun to shoot. I do have a red dot with a riser on it.
    I have a normal copy as well which is stock. Not real fun. It is however a great go bag since it folds up. Being able to use glock mags is a real plus.

    16" pistel rifle?
    Is that like a truck car?

    Its a rifle, its not a pistol.
    You’ve never been in an abandoned warehouse, did a running dive over highly flammable liquids while unfolding your Sub2K and popping insanely accurate shots off at evil henchmen? The name of the games is count your rounds because Wesley snipes is unfrozen and causing havoc!

    Call me if you have any questions about the sea shells.
    Awesome, I'm taking you to Taco Bell.

    Not a sniper rifle under any circumstances, but I actually really enjoy mine (multiple). I've never messed with the standard sights and I don't put red dots on anything (I've been fighting that trend, but I think I'm going to give in sooner or later). For what it is, I find mine accurate. No problem putting every round on a 6" plate at 50-60 yards. That is pretty much what it is intended to do. Can be reasonable out to 100 yards, but beyond that accuracy suffers greatly. I just like a rifle I can put in a hydration bag carrier or a laptop case.... call me strange.

    I've seen the MCarbo folding riser but not willing to pay what they ask for it. I just use a high mount (lower 1/3 co-witness) Holosun red dot with a qd base. Takes a minute to move it from bottom rail to top rail after unfolding.
    Get a Red Lion Precision rail. It rotates.

    Mine served duty as a back kitchen door gun just leaning on the wall waiting for action. Was a fun plinker to shoot at cookouts. Finally got rid of it since I never thought I'd get attacked from the rear.

    If you're just looking for a 9mm carbine to toss in your trunk, or take along to the grocery store, why not just pick up one of these things?

    An original one would have exemption from SBR regs , but they're $$ these days .

    Lots of humor potential here .

    But a folded Kel Tec Rifle in backpack or whatever, w/o inserted mag, would be " transporting unloaded Long Gun " , not " carry" .

    Yep. Also, hard to think of something that requires fishing out of a bag, unfolded, and loaded before being serviceable as being suitable for the use case for which most folks carry (self-defense). It may work if you're being attacked by three-toed sloths, but you could probably just run from them unless they have your castle surrounded. As a "truck" gun, I can start to see the argument for the Sub2000.

    I LIKE my sub2000, with stock sights even. I put most of the mcarbo internals in it, and it runs nice, and is quite accurate for a 9mm blaster. The site picture takes a little experimentation, and I can see why many folks hate it, but it works fine for me.

    I bought it because I thought it would be good to have a PCC that takes the same mags as a pistol I own. But, honestly, I really have to stretch the imagination to find a good practical purpose for owning it. As a toy, though...

    if you decide to carry it.. you cannot have a loaded long gun in your vehicle , this is a dnr regulation. Not a huge deal though, you can literally have a loaded magazine right next to it. Dont listen to the fudds that say the ammo has to be in a separate compartment or the rifle has to be locked and in trunk. This only applies to fopa when traveling across state lines.

    I can get a keltec before completed my hql, it’s legal to open carry in public, it’s foldable so I can put it in a backpack. In case of nearby danger I can still take it out and defend myself as I am escaping towards outside without engaging the threat.

    It shoots more accurate than a pistol as well.
