The components comprising the first-generation Kel-Tec SUB-2000 carbine are essential for its function and maintenance. These components range from major assemblies like the receiver, barrel, and stock to smaller but critical elements such as springs, pins, and magazine components. Understanding the various parts and their interaction is key to proper assembly, disassembly, cleaning, troubleshooting, and customization.
Availability of these specific components is vital for the continued operation and longevity of these carbines. Access to replacement parts allows owners to address wear and tear, perform necessary repairs, and even modify their firearms for improved ergonomics or functionality. Given the SUB-2000’s unique design and folding mechanism, understanding the interplay of these parts is particularly crucial. The first-generation model, while no longer in production, maintains a dedicated following, making access to parts crucial for these owners.
