I own one in 9mm. Have about 300 rounds of 147 winchester lawman down the pipe. Its a great rifle; the velocity gains are retarded...(it'd do ALOT OF damage to a critter.) over 700 dollars though is abit much. It'd be a killer buy if it was 500. Still a really good buy though. Accuracy is about....2 inches at 50 m? I've never tried an accuracy test; I'm one of those "rapid fire mall ninja" guys. Super easy to take apart and clean; wish the mag release was ambi though; so I could do strong hand reloads instead of flipping my rifle around. Also wish a sling adapter was included.
I think the Canadian retailer asking price is a bit much @ $650/per, but with that being said, I also don't know how much work it took to bring these in. I'm sure there are of course additional charges to Kel-Tec and Vault for the extended barrel that is required, plus shipping and import charges.
Considering the price differential between the US selling price ($350ish) and the Canadian asking price ($650), I would probably be inclined to buy and try one at some point in time, but at that $600-$700 price range you open up the field of choice to a whole slew of other nice, non-restricted guns that the Sub2000 has to compete with.
Not having handled or shot one, I'd have to say that the biggest advantage this little gun has is that it is now the cheapest (non - 7.62x39) non-restricted center fire rifle in Canada. Also, it's 100% made in the US.
I hope they sell well for Vault and I would encourage them to continue to import guns into the Canadian market place, because let's face it, without Vault, we wouldn't have access to these guns. For that reason alone I think it's worth picking one up.

No other firearm in Canada comes close in the "backpack capable, center fire, carbine" category.
If we had the gun laws we had 45 years ago I wouldn't even come close to buying this firearm. I would just take a .45 for target practice in the bush.
Frankly, I'm embarrassed that we have to stoop to this firearm.
That being said.. I'm going to get one.

Ordered one of them a few days ago. Will post a review on Youtube ASAP.
they seam to get great reviews in the state's. the higher price will just have to be swalowed. Wanna play gotta pay right. Took time to make the barrel, test and what not. Not to mention the hours of paper work to get them hear. 650 is fair, its one of a kind hear in Banada. How many other folding pistol cal' carbines do we have. I cant wait to crack off a few hundred rounds next week.
