Kel-Tec SUB-2000 Hammer Reset

- If you've field stripped your SUB-2000 and can't get the bolt back in during reassembly, it's possible you accidentally dropped the hammer at some point. This video will explain how to fix that so you can reassemble your SUB-2000. This will also work on the GEN1 SUB-2000.

I didn't pull the trigger but still couldn't get my bolt back in. With the help of this video I figured I had to use a flat head screwdriver to push the hammer down a bit as I slid the bolt forward. For whatever reason, even in the cocked position the hammer stuck up just enough to catch the bolt sliding forward. Kind of a pain, but pretty easy once I figured what the problem was.
If I could give you two thumbs up and a brotherly hug, I would. My God, I NEEDED your comment. Hallelujah!😂
The manual scared the crap out of me by saying the rifle would become "inoperable," which to me implies a service call. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I absolutely love this gun.
Same here 🤣🤦♂️
I wish more manufactures would do videos like this.
After like 40 minutes of trying to figure out wtf I did wrong I remember watching this video thanks Keltec!
Thanks for this! I was in the pits of despair when this happened to me.
Bought one yesterday, and obviously made a rookie mistake after reading the whole manual... Thank you Kel-Tec!
After an hour and 2 grown men destroying their thumbs, I find this gem. TY
Thank you for the video. You cured a big headache for me!
You guys need to amend the manual.
First time reassembling the gun, with the safety on and the hammer in cocked position, the bolt would not move past the hammer. I had to reach in the ejection port and push the hammer down slightly to get the bolt to move forward.
Nice I just use my finger through the ejection port and push the hammer back.
I did the same. First and last mistake on this (having the trigger forward).
Same.
I did the same.
Once again, Chad is THE MAN! Thank you, sir! I was going to make this very video! Now I don't need to. Customers call and ask me this about once a month and it takes 3-40 minutes (depending on their mechanical aptitude and the phase of the moon) to talk them through it. Actually, the busier I am, the longer it seems to take. :-)
It's a lot easier to see the hammer with the enlarged ejection port on the Gen 2. I usually recommend a 3/8" wooden dowel or even the handle of a wooden spoon if you can sneak one out of the kitchen without da wife catching you. The hard steel screwdriver on the hard steel hammer can slip off easily. Be careful the screwdriver doesn't slip and break off the ejector (black molded fin on the left inside of the receiver). I've done this job with a ball point pen at a gun show.
I was also going to make a video demonstrating how to ease the bolt over the cocked hammer on a new SUB-2000. Reassembly can be difficult before the bolt and hammer wear in together after approximately 500 rounds. The symptom is very similar to dropping the hammer while the bolt is removed. This seems to be less of a problem on the Gen 2 based on the calls I'm not getting.
Speaking of pulling the trigger... I'm about to pull the trigger on a Kel-Tec RDB purchase, and I still haven't shot my KSG or CMR-30 yet! Three new Kel-Tecs! That's going to be a fun day at the range! I'm cuckoo for Kel-Tec.
Liberty4Ever I agree on the part about the new gun as far as the bolt/hammer not going down completely, I had to watch Chad's video because my hammer was in the up position, so I used a wooden dowel rod to push it back down, although I heard the click of the hammer, my bolt still would not go through unless I pressed down on the hammer while easing the bolt carrier forward. I'm hoping this will wear down somewhat over time because that is a slight pain in the ass. My Sub 2000 is new, I have not shot it yet,just got it yesterday and was cleaning it today when I had the problem with hammer/bolt.
So true... this was a much “bigger” problem with the Gen1 and the smaller ejection port. I mean, it’s not a big deal either way, so long as you know what happened and why, but at least with the large ejection port you can clearly see the issue instantly.
Thank you!! This just happened to me while cleaning. Now I can stop freaking out! LoL.. Thanks again. Love my sub 2000 by the way!!!
I’m so glad I clicked on your video that just happened to me a while ago I squeezed the trigger And couldn’t get it back into place thanks u just got a new subscriber
I couldn't help but squeeze the trigger as well. lol I knew I messed up when I couuldn't get the bolt back in.

Exactly why certain parts should ALWAYS be metal.
Thanks so much. Had it off safe, installing a m-carbo recoilless charging handle and locked my hammer. Oh joy as in the manual it says I just rendered my 2000 rife inoperable. No fix mentioned. Found this video. Feel a little less stupid, but not much....
Thank you so very much, I just bought a sub 2000 I know nothin about it and yes my bolt got locked I was bout to panic though I had broke my new rifle thanks your video save me i will put on safe from now on . thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! I felt like such an idiot. Enjoying the rifle considerably. Great machine.
Are y'all coming out with a 10 mm sub 2000 soon!!!(please)
Thanks man I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out what I did
Had issues with my bolt assembly not going over my hammer so i had to push the hammer down and pull the bolt assembly over the hammer to charge it. Nice vid would like trouble shooting though
Thanks for the videos, they are well made and address many facets of owning a KelTec firearm. I have a slightly different problem. I have difficulty putting the bolt back after cleaning. I followed the procedure in your SUB2000 cleaning video. The hammer seems a little high and won't let the bolt in all the way. I need to press it down a bit to allow the bolt back in properly. Is that normal? Thanks!
From what I've read, that's normal. While you're putting the bolt assembly back in, push down on the hammer until the bolt moves past it. Complete the reassembly and run the bolt a couple times to smooth it out.
How many times before the polymer receiver pins start going out.?
I have a different issue. My hammer is set like it is supposed to be. But when I go to reassemble my gun after cleaning. The bolt hits the rear of the hammer and I cannot push it into place. I have to reach in through the ejection port and press the hammer down just a little bit more so that the bolt can slide in. Has anyone else seen this.
My brand new Sub-2000 dies the same thing. Field stripped it twice, know that I did not touch the trigger either time, but still could not get the bolt back in without fiddling with the hammer.
I found I have to jiggle it around a bit to fit properly and maybe use more force than I thought.
Same issue with mine 😳
Thank you for the video! Was installing the buffer washer and ran into this problem.
On my first disassembly, the cocked hammer wouldn't let the bolt come forward, and I had to push the hammer down a bit while reinstalling the bolt. Hopefully, this will go away as I shoot the carbine and wear the parts in.
Thank you sir for making this video! However I didn’t need the screwdriver. I just poked my finger into the bullet eject and boom💥
What if you're having the same issue, but the hammer is back? I have to put my finger inside the ejection port to push the hammer down to get the bolt past it.
Me too?
I thought I messed up before I changed out my latching tab i pulled the trigger and then i took the butt stock off is that how you are supposed to do it or are you not supposed to pull he trigger at all before field stripping
My issue is the spring won’t come out. Any idea how to fix this? I am trying to install the mcarbo bolt tube cover
How difficult would it be to also produce a version of this gem in 5.7?
I did did this about 3 or 4 times do you think I’m in good shape.?? I don’t wanna loosen those pins
I was able to reach in through the ejection port and reset it with my finger. But I do have kinda long fingers so that may not work for everyone
Great video, thank you. Do you know of a resource for binary or hard reset triggers for the SUB-2000
The key here is to keep the gun on Safe when doing any admin work on it to prevent this or potentially worse "accidents".
And of course the Universal Safety Rules still apply.
How about a video on how my LGS can get the SUB-2000 I ordered 2 years ago?
How about find a new gun store...
@@RoCkCrAwLeRz86 I had to chuckle, granted they're not easy to find and I've been offered a lot more than I paid for mine with MCarbo mods installed. But from the time I decided to get one, I found it less than 40 miles away and picked-up the next day.
Just had the same issue and it cost me $38.00 at gun smith. Had I only know, but now I do.
Thank you Sr. your video was / is helpful.
How many times do you think the gun can Handle this if it happen more than once.?
Why is the Safety operation backwards to other firearms? I.e. right side push in with the trigger finger. Can the Safety be reversed to function like the rest of the world?
Thank you that was extremely helpful.
I made this mistake and I just stuck my finger through the ejection port and pushed the hammer down that way works too.
I clocked the rifle before disassembly and when I reinsert the bolt the hammer is still up just enough that I have to push it down to let the bolt move over it.
Just bought it last weekend and haven't fired it yet. Is this normal?
matt l having the same problem here. I don’t really want to have the flat head wedged in there while I try and get the bolt back in place
Hey Matt so I found that it actually doesn’t take much I accidentally pushed the trigger further down with my finger and the bolt slid right in. I’m assuming once the gun is broken in it will be functioning as in chads vide
@@sigspov9972 thanks for the feedback. mine is just like you say, I can lower the hammer with a finger through the ejection port and I'll see if a break in will change anything. its annoying to me that the hammer isnt seated. let me know if yours fixes itself.
Thanks. Instead of a screwdriver, I have a 18" brass dowel(squib rod) that will do the trick.
It's a lot easier to push it back with your finger through the ejection port.
Exactly what happened but instructions didn’t cover your fix - thanks.
So my sub2000 when i field strip it i cant remove the bolt , it wont slide out, its a gen 2 as well
Great video. Great manufacturer. Thank you
What does it mean when my bolt will not come out the tube ?? 🤔
Cool, I did that before i saw the video, thankfully I did not screw anything up
Can y'all make a video on the trigger rubbing against the polymer issue that stops trigger functions? Just got a gen 2 sub2K and have this issue 09/03/2019
Riley Nash I got the .40 cal sub 2000 and it's junk. It came with a 13 round Glock mag and it jammed twice the first load on mag and three times on the second load on mag. It seems the more I shoot it the more it jamms. I will sell it to the first available dummy that can legally buy it. Oh and when it breaks in half and locks the barrel to the but stock it now wiggles side to side.
I've been looking for the sub2000 gen2 9mm sig226 mag for a year now, no luck. Any advice on how to get one would be much appreciated!! I'll even take the ugly blue one, help a shooter out.
It would be easier/less difficult to look for the M&P 9mm version then buy the mag catch replacement for the Sig226 from the KelTec site ($10+s/h?). They call it the Multi-mag version because that's the only difference for the non-Glock version...the mag catch. Good luck!
Why didnt I find this sooner?!?!?! I disabled the whole thing to get to the hammer!!!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I have to do this every time i reassemble. I need to push the hammer down or else the bolt will not travel all the way.
Just followed this procedure, and my bolt still won't go in. Hammer is fully locked down. Thoughts?
Any solution yet?
Yeah, I had to depress the hammer even beyond 'locked' to get the bolt to slide forward enough, then I could reassemble.
Since then I've taken the entire thing apart, placed the trigger springs, trigger, and trigger guard and become pretty familiar with the inner workings of the Sub 2K. It's got it's quirks, but once you get to know it, it's no big deal.
Thx but hammer is locked down and I still can't get carrier bolt assembly back in ?? Help
Same^were you able to fix that?
So I reset the hammer and it's still getting caught on something. Any ideas?
Stick your finger in the ejection port and push the hammer down slightly.
The bolt will slide forward as normal.
Great video! Thanks!
THANK YOU!
But why even manufacture a firearm with such an obvious flaw in the first place?
This trick is not fu#%$ working. The hammer locks but still gets in the damn way. I PUSH IT FURTHER AND IT STILL DOES NOTHING BUT JAM. Any solid help?
Hammer down
Bolt still won't go
Sub 2000 for left handed shooters???
Chad &^#$%%&(@$^ DAMN I did not have it on safe and apparently pulled the trigger. Cleaning went well and everything was great until the reassembly, the bolt would not go all the way down and I could see the hammer in the wrong position. So off to the computer and you GREAT and VERY HELPFUL video. Reset the hammer and all went well, Well I guess you screw up and learn from your mistakes !! LOL Thanks again Chad, you guys at Kel-Tec rock !!!
@Chad Enos You guys at Kel-Tec ROCK !!! Thanks again
I did this the first time I took mine apart and had a minor panic attack.
Hey, KT, make PMR30-alike in 7.62x25!
Your P15 is a complete fiasco!
thank you❤🇺🇸
eff all yall, i spent like 2 hours problem solving this and got it done, but it did piss me off
😂😂😂 I knooOOow man
Bless you!
Well... Dropping the hammer unassembled is just a stupid thing to do. You do that once with an AR you might crack the frame. Don't do this stupid thing ever. 😊
My hammer will not engage my sear
I reset the hammer and bolt still won't slide in
Had the same exact problem. Reset the hammer and with a little bit of force push it in
Thank you!!!
I usually just reach my pinky in and reset it
I did that and just stuck my finger in there and fixed it
Great video...however, I use my finger...can't afford a screwdriver or dowel (Lol)
I love you sir!😬
I have a big fucking complaint about Kel-Tec ... Send some Sub 2000 Gen 2 9mm Glock to CANADA for FUCK SAKE ! nuf said.
I pull the trigger jajaja this help a lot 😅😅
Jeez, I did mine with my finger. Now I feel like a chump.
I LUV my VISTA
Frustrating plastic trash I should've bought a Ruger
That was nice but i used my fanger. Hurt like bidens policies but i got it
