It's a bolt catch not a bolt release... you can only use the charging handle

[@BROTUNED]

Ya I found that out when I looked at the manual lol. I was going to say wow how are people supposed to use this thing?

[@62spullman]

It's not a bolt release it just a catch apparently it says it in the owner's manual.

[@BROTUNED]

Yeah I realized that afterwards but already had the video released. It’s seemed a little hard and was thinking something has to be wrong

[@amywolfe6100]

Apparently nobody reads manuals anymore, it's not a bolt release. You only use the charging handle to release the bolt.

[@BROTUNED]

Ya I realized that after I looked at the manual. But the video was already live. My bad

[@nickolasthefrog]

@@BROTUNEDyou were right the first time. EVERY bolt catch should function as a bolt release. Every modern design I’ve encountered does after it’s worked in a bit. If this one doesn’t then the manufacturer is wrong.

[@bren7883]

I see all the guntubers complaining about this. The m&p handguns are made like that too

[@adrnacad3434]

Really nice. The only video on KZbin of the FDE version.

[@BROTUNED]

I didn’t know that

[@TGLASS24]

Man I don't know what the dudes talking about it being inaccurate are on. I picked mine up a few moths ago and will put any 9mm through it and it's accurate beyond what my lil sig RD and 3x magnifier allows me to see. All around fun gun and very useful as a truck gun.

[@dashwerks]

You can transfer the mag release button to the other side and press it with your index finger. Way faster

[@danielmarshall7285]

Must be the ammo because this is a very accurate rifle

[@BROTUNED]

I know I should have tried some better ammo

[@zZKableZz]

Seems like your barrel is sticking out from the hand guard a little further than what I’ve normally seen. Is that an option or did you cut your hand guard?

[@BROTUNED]

It’s a Canadian model so most likely has a longer barrel to meet the laws here.

[@zZKableZz]

@BROTUNED ah dang. I was about to say I kind of like that look a bit more with the barrel sticking out a bit further.

[@bfox87]

The sub2k with the mcarbo red dot mount isnt too bad even tho alot of people hate it i cant complain, these weren't even out yet but definitely like the side fold and mag holding capability

[@Starkman3]

I am looking for a good set of iron sights that allow a comfortable sighting position. Which ones are you using? Thanks.

[@BROTUNED]

I usually just use the magpul flip up sights

[@stephensteere3051]

I got one about a month ago on a sale price, and got a free Vortex Crossfire red dot sight. Also found the new Keltec sub 2000 Gen 3 on sale price, I am having a lot of fun with these carbines

[@dieseldave88]

Favorite video so far, love that FPC .

[@BROTUNED]

Glad to hear it! Cheers 🍻

[@GetOutsideGetSun]

Get a Taccom charging handle + MCarbo flash suppressor. Put a dot on it. I like a short fore grip. Great truck gun for farm predators to 200yds. M&P 50rd drum works in mine, no mods. 96 rds on board when two 23 rd mags in stock. 2k+ rds of assorted ammo, no fails. Hate cleaning it, bolt release is dumb.

[@BROTUNED]

I really enjoyed this little gun! But unfortunately I didn’t get to keep it. Cassie Arsenault lent it to me for a couple weeks to see how it performed. I still haven’t picked one up for myself yet but I think I will be soon. Cheers! 🍻

[@GetOutsideGetSun]

@@BROTUNEDJust found your channel, enjoying it!

[@BROTUNED]

@jonshervey2146 awesome thanks hope I get a subscription ha ha. Cheers 🍻

[@marcwilson4003]

Great gun...its really easy to clean.

[@Atothe7420]

I been looking for this video. Just confirms that in terms accuracy the barrel shifts.

[@BROTUNED]

Ya I want very pleased with it but it’s not really a precision carbine. It’s good for what it’s m ant to do

[@davidgoodin3833]

What optic are you using on that ?

[@BROTUNED]

The precision part is a Bushnell elite tactical 4.5-18

[@bartonwappes5190]

Tell me how do the buis work I put a set on mine and the peep is too far forward to use? Is the pic rail different on the FDE model

[@BROTUNED]

No I used a cantilever mount backwards to be able to actually see through the optic

[@Jdelta22nc]

Very nice and cool looking. Thank you for the video.

[@markthibault8579]

Neat gun that requires you to adapt to its idiosyncracies. When I tried my buddy's FPC, even with large hands, I couldn't work the mag release with my thumb. So, I suggested swapping it to the other side and then just using your trigger finger to drop the mag. That way, you don't have to break your grip as much and rotate the gun. Also, the bolt release really isn't; it's a bolt catch. The charging handle seemed to be the best way to go. Otherwise, neat PCC that has a lot of advantages over the competition.

[@BROTUNED]

Ya after looking at the manual it clearly states bolt catch. But looks like it would be a release mechanism also but I guess they would have made it easy if that’s what it was intended to do. Speaking to my friends at my local gun shop they said they haven’t had one come back but many sub2000 s have come back. I was advised against it. Apparently there are plastic components in the trigger group. Heavy use will destroy it from what I hear.

[@markthibault8579]

@@BROTUNED Interesting. I would have assumed the FPC's trigger group would be identical to the M&P pistol which has a proven track record.

[@ba2724]

@@markthibault8579 He was talking about the plastic found in the sub2000. The FPC is very similar to the pistol.

[@xXcjmckXx]

Personally I just wrap my middle finger of my right hand around the front of the grip to press the mag release. I’m worried swapping the mag release to the right side of the gun would introduce accidental mag ejections

[@BROTUNED]

Yes I agree.

[@alcrutcher7862]

Exactly, that’s what I do too

[@davidaguiar1387]

Hopefully someone will make an aftermarket bolt release/slide stop soon.

[@shawnslinkard7220]

How much for a fuzzy mic cover???

[@BROTUNED]

I was using one but it was super windy

[@redfish-vg9dj]

Yeah, need to change your ammo, thats thing is actually EXTREMELY accurate.

[@fredshebester-wg4vb]

Seem like a pretty cool thing to have ! I've not purchased yet, but on the wish list

[@BROTUNED]

I think I’ll have to get one also

[@ronalddavis]

when I first saw that buttstock bag i thought it was a granite rock

[@BROTUNED]

Oh ha ha I see what you mean lol

[@sandmanslim4637]

I bought an FPC for my wife, she figured out how to drop the bolt in 5 minutes. I think we are spoiled with ar-15's. Men won't read manual's.

[@BROTUNED]

lol you are correct 👍🏻

[@casburns5254]

Nice man that is cool you make some sweet videos by the way

[@BROTUNED]

I appreciate it cheers 🍻

[@chillios2222]

no big deal but theside of the sight looks shiny, the fde if thats what it is otherwise looks great ( opinion i know ), i will just forget the bolt releases and call them holds,it hits like 3 out of 5 i think so thats good enough on those little targets

[@BROTUNED]

Ya it’s definitely not a release but it’s a great little rifle

[@arminkowitz2726]

It was a toss up for me between this and the Gen3 Sub 2000. Close race but the for some reason the sub felt better to me.

[@shellyshoop-r5w]

I didn’t know they came in Desert tan

[@toddm9501]

Do they? I didn't know either. I like that FDE look.

[@casburns5254]

I want one!!!!’ How much are those? I live in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@BROTUNED]

I think it’s $999

[@BROTUNED]

I’m also in Ontario near Peterborough

[@cleo8086]

Bought one 2 months ago. Not perfect but I love it! Bolt release us a joke tho...

[@BROTUNED]

It’s tons of fun and I might buy one myself as a camping gun but ya the bolt release is unusable

[@johngarrett6256]

That is cool, funny you did this video I have been thinking about getting pistol AR thanks good video.👍😀

[@BROTUNED]

It’s just really nice and compact would be perfect for backcountry camping

[@jessgypin-ko5ds]

Its not a bolt release "bro"

[@BROTUNED]

Ya I know

[@poncetek-1119]

"its not made to be a precision rifle" so he says..........

[@ksunofficial]

Please tell me you didn't just waste some beautiful ice river Canadian spring water :( Please tell me you just filled it with tap water lol

[@BROTUNED]

Unfortunately sometimes we have to make sacrifices and we can’t save em all

[@mmgee]

Sub2000 accuracy

[@tv-cx8gv]

Didn't like mine, traded it for a Ruger PC9 Takedown.

[@BROTUNED]

What didn’t you like about it and what made you choose the PC9

[@liedebunker1253]

The groups really suck, huh? I got it last year, and now I really regret that I bought it. I was thinking about getting a Sig Sauer red dot for it, but I will not get it after I watched your video. I'm going to sell the rifle. Thank you for having saved me a lot of headache.

[@BROTUNED]

I was shooting cheap range ammo also not sure if that makes a difference

[@juanmunoz295]

Seeing lots of videos that show it shooting better

Well sometimes sacrifices must be made lol it was an expensive way to water the grass but I don’t think tap water would have the same effect. That’s why I forked out the big bucks for you guys!
