one of my biggest complaints about the sub 2000 was the trigger its heavy gritty and not conducive to accurate shooting but up until recently there have been no "trigger kits"

i purchased mcarbo Trigger Spring Kit
http://www.mcarbo.com/kel-tec-sub-2000-trigger-spring-kit.aspx

and "Earley" metal trigger i decided to buy his instead of the aztec trigger because he seems to be making lots of sub2k parts and i wanted to "reward" him with business so he keeps making new products

http://www.performanceservicesmachi...l-tec-generation-1-and-2-trigger-replacement/

i installed these parts and did a polish with a dremmel buffing wheel mothers aluminum polish using beastly write up which can be found here i also lubed the pins but forgot to lube the hammer and sear
http://www.thektog.org/forum/f85/beastlys-sub-2000-build-249208/index5.html

I DID NOT FILE OR GRIND ANYTHING


first the stock trigger:
1/4" take up/slop
then a wall gritty take up and no idea when its going to break
i wish i payed better attention to the reset but i think i forgot about it cause it was non existent
there was so much flex in the plastic trigger after the break the trigger could flex and hit the receiver ie over travel

average weight after 5 pull on lyman trigger gauge 6lbs 10oz which from what ive read is actually good for a sub2k


now after the spring kit buff/polish and metal trigger

way less take up
very firm distinct wall
distinct crisp break
can hear and feel a reset
no flex in metal trigger = less over travel
average weight after 5 pull on lyman trigger gauge 5lbs 10oz

i was hoping for a little less weight but it is defiantly WAY better than stock trigger i haven't test fired yet but will soon.

Total cost= $70 and 1.5 hours of time

Thanks for the video - even if I don't do a trigger mod that's the first full disassembly video for the Gen 2 I've seen and that's always useful

I have the MCARBO spring kit in mine with the stock trigger. Never shot my S2K in the stock form so couldn't tell you how it is compared side by side but if you have enough time and patience, I suggest the MCARBO spring kit to anyone.

I would defiantly suggest upgrading to a metal trigger I think there's more flex in the plastic one than I originally thought

Thanks but not a must have for me right now. Eventually I will just not right now.

Don't worry about it. If you decide, after shooting a few hundred rounds, that the trigger is just not making you happy, then change it. Some of us here have fired thousands of rounds through KelTec rifles and pistols, using the factory trigger.

Great video. Also glad to see a complete take down of the Sub2K. I follow the old axiom of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Is the trigger great on the Sub2K, no, but it works. My POU for this weapon is as a truck/bug out bag gun and I just need it to accurately go bang. Still, more power to those of you who show their creativity to modify and mold this gun into your own vision of what it should be. Shoot safe!

I have the Aztac trigger in mine with stock springs and it's a pretty big improvement by itself.

Guys like to modify things. Cars, guns, houses/garages, home entertainment systems, the yard, etc. Are you telling me you've never "modified" something to make it work better for you or just because you wanted to?

Yes it is

The guys that have installed earley's version ~ what is your feedback?

The old axiom of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a good one, but I'm also a big fan of practical upgrades.

That 'Early' trigger, and spring kit are what I consider to be practical upgrades.

 

[Artofgolf]

... but I'm also a big fan of practical upgrades...

Yep, me too. I just didn't like the spongy feel of the stock trigger.
Some folks don't mind it; that's OK.

Still kinda mad at myself that I probably should have swapped the trigger out while I had it apart for cerakoting. Part of me wants to upgrade but part of me wants to not have to tear it apart again since it is working 100 percent just fine right now. I suppose if something goes south I'll probably do it then if I'm forced to crack it open again.

Just follow the video and go slow

The grip on my G19 version is too short for my hands, so I'll swap it out for a G17 grip.
I'll go ahead and request that KT upgrade the trigger & springs for me while they have it apart.

The video will be a great help.
