KELTEX SUB2000 9MM FRONT SIGHT UPGRADE

[neokshooter]

Looking to upgrade the sight picture on my newly acquired Keltec Sub2000 9mm pistol caliber carbine. As is it's a pretty fair sight picture but I have a bit of trouble with black sight post on black or very dark backgrounds. I tried painting the post with some orange colored paint and it's not bad but it could be better. I was told that an AR15/M16 front sight post will interchange with the one on the Sub2000 as they are exactly the same. I have a Truglo tritium dot AR15 front sight if I can locate it. Does anyone know how you remove the Sub2000 sight post and replace it with another one?

Should be just like removing an A2 front sight post, the east way would be to get an a2 front sight wrench and just screw it out. I always just pushed the detent in with a round I stripped out of the mag and turned it that way.

Okay yeah I've got a front sight tool laying around some where.

Yeah it's a pretty nice mount. Not ready for that yet though. My Sub2ooo is an Mcarbo M series but that was the only thing I didn't buy.

Yeah I've found the sights are to low for me.

Mine is the MCARBO M series and it has the MCARBO metal replacement rear sight. It is taller than the Keltec factory original polymer sight and the aperture is bigger. Much more comfortable when aligning the front and rear sight plus the larger aperture allows you to acquire the sight picture much faster.

I'll have to check them out it's a cool little rifle.

It is just that....a cool little rifle. Not sure how else to categorize it as far as it's exact purpose. Oh don't get me wrong it is suitable for self defense, target shooting, backpacker/trail gun (so long as you don't live in bear or wild hog country) and maybe a few other things that I can't come up with right now. Cool little rifle just seems to sum it up.
