Gear Review: JMT AR-15 80% Composite / Polymer Lower

June 29, 2017 by Conner W.

TTAG’s readership is a well-informed crowd. So I’ll spare you an explanation of the purpose(s) of an eighty percent lower. I will say, however, that if you’re not making at least a portion of your (where legally permitted) DIY firearms each year you should strongly consider doing so. At the very least, it’s a great … Read more

Gear Review: K Rounds Concealed Range Back Pack

May 14, 2017 by Conner W.

In Monday’s CapArms Question of the Day: Got Backpack? RF talked about how a feature as simple as PALS webbing can reduce a covert carry bag to a tactical target.

New Products From Kel-Tec: Gen2 Sub-2000 and CMR-30

January 26, 2015 by Jeremy S.

The Sub-2000 is a semi-automatic folding carbine that comes with many handgun magazine options, most notably Glock 17 magazines in 9mm. Other 9mm magazine compatibility includes Glock 19, Smith & Wesson M&P, S&W 59, Beretta 92, and SIG Sauer 226. The other chambering is 40 S&W. Oddly, a 45 ACP chambering isn’t available. The 9mm Glock version is a favorite at gun shops, in part because it accepts extended-round magazines. The Cocoa, Florida manufacturer popularized the P3AT pistol, along with other interesting self-defense designs, including the Kel-Tec RFB bullpup in 7.62 NATO.

Kel-Tec has made some pretty significant changes to its folding 9mm pistol caliber carbine, the SUB-2000, now releasing a Gen 2 version. Despite the additional features and upgrades, it’s apparently easier to manufacture and production is doubling, so this truck gun favorite seems to be improving.

Also new and already beginning to ship out is the Kel-Tec CMR-30, the matching carbine to the PMR-30 pistol in 22WMR. I’m excited to get my hands on one of those as soon as possible, as I own a PMR-30 (review here) and six mags, an AAC Element 2 suppressor, and almost 1,000 rounds of .22 WMR so I’m ready to put it to the test! Gen2 SUB-2000 and CMR-30 video tours with Kris from Kel-Tec, plus some photos and highlights follow. . .
