Kel-tec sub 2000 loose barrel solutions

[rangebear]

My Sub 2000 barrel has become loose, meaning it can rotate/spin in the block that it is mounted in. I see from research online that this can happen because it is only loctited in. Does anyone have experience fixing this problem, or any experience getting this fixed by Kel Tec here in Canada? Thanks

I've never heard of that issue, that said I would get in touch with Kel-Tec and their new Canadian Warranty company.

Are you the original owner?

 

[rangebear]

No.. not the original owner..

Well try reaching out to Kel-tec in Florida and see what they are willing to do, it's lifetime warranty for original owners but they might still be willing to help you.....

Yep, call KelTec, they'll get you sorted out.

If they can't help, or if you want to DIY, check the KelTec Owners Group forum really helpful community, there's a subforum for the Sub2000:

From past experience they sometimes have a roll pin holding the barrel in. I had a loose barrel and thought it was just loctite so I spun it out. Destroyed the threads in the process.

I’d recommend getting some green wicking loctite and put it in where the barrel mounts to receiver. Make sure the barrel is straight, that way when it dries it will be where you want it.

I had a rifle that blew up covered under "warranty" with vault and I was about the 5th owner, was an su16 that blew to pieces. about 8 years ago vault took care of it.
