Keltec Sub2000 (Custom Green Laser Project)
- Thread starter TheZreturns
- Start date
The video I posted on the first post, is the project of someone else...
I'm looking forward to do the same thing...
Personnaly, I won't use any "milspec" (DBAL I-2) laser nor shelf piece cheapy laser pointers.
I'll use mid-range laser, made in a 3 inches alloy casing for safety and endurance principles.
I'll use a Class IIIA Green laser (532nM) of a real 5mW power.
Elevation and Drift adjustments are made from the front of the laser, not on the sides, so it will be easier to adjust them, when installed IN the Keltec's shell...
I'll use the rat-tail cap, so I can split the positive/negative wires and fit them to an other switch I will install on the side of the gun...
Something like this:
Perfect for some fast-paced, close-range shooting on those cloudy days at the range! I'd make for a fantastic shooting vid if you were shooting steel - all the bits of shattered lead reflecting bits of the laser as they disperse ha ha.

I have a laser like to one in the photo. I tried to zero it for around 45 min.
Then I put it on my useless s**t shelve , and bought a Viridian.
It is a 100% better.
One day I plan to getting around to putting the contents of the above mentioned
Shelve on the EE.

Thanks for your input... It's appreciated.
Personnaly, I've never had any problem zeroing my laser, when it was on my AR-15... Kept his zero for hundred rounds!
On the other hand, I'm not thinking in installing a 300$ Viridian laser on a 600$ gun...
Oh and Viridian lasers are built with a frame that fits on handgun's picatinny rail... Not actually the type of laser i'm looking forward to install...

I understand completely . I bought a sub 2k picatinny from Wainstalls . I think it was only around 20$. The Viridian mounts on it.
Maybe I will take the other laser off the shelf and try and zero it again.
Could you give me the link of the product page because I don't find the picatinny rail for the keltec on their web page!
That could be an interesting solution also... Less invasive and also reversible on the Sub2K...
Thanks!

Hi , I had to email Wanstalls today on an other matter, Gary said he would have more pic rails arriving in March.
I looked on Kel Tec"s web site and they are listed at 21.20 US.( SKU SUB-397)
Maybe someone else who sells the sub 2K has some in stock ??
Q: there are 3 small adjustment hex head bolts on my laser, one is locked or frozen solid. The allen keys are so small I did not want to put too much force on it. For fear of stripping it. Did you have moment in all 3 hex heads ????
Thanks... So does that mean when he'll receive them he'll put them on his website or I have to contact him personnaly to get the picatinny rail?

I think you are best to email them , via their web site and have him contact you when they get in.
Allright thanks... Will do if I don't find anybody here in my province who have it in stock!
Otherwise, i'll take my Sub2k's handguards to my CNC machine and drill my holes!
x2 stay away from that garbage! Got the same one, couldn't even hold up to the recoil of a .22lr. The pressure pad also failed pretty damn quick.
Tonight, I've decided to start the project of installing my 5mW green laser with a custom switch on my Sub 2000... Redneck style!
I've started with buying a momentary switch and also cutting the cheap wires from the original switch of the laser.
I've re-wired everything from the small little circuits in the laser (for a better weld connection) to the installation of the switch.
I've machine drilled my laser aluminium frame and made treads on it so it can fit the original Sub 2000 screws from the handguard...
I've also drilled the handguard so it fits the switch.
So here's the result of the inner connections:
Here, picture is a little blurry, but laser don't touch the barrel at all... But it's a matter of around 1 centimeter (10mm) of spacing between each other:
I've reinstalled the handguard and tighten all the screws back...
And then, I've zeroed the laser to 10 meters with the adjustment screws... I would adjust it for 15 to 25 meters, when i'll get to the range this weekend:
And finally, this is what it looks like when folded:
