“I want to alert Gun Tests readers about a recall of a portion of SUB‐2000s that were manufactured in 2017,” said Editor Todd Woodard. “All costs associated with the recall of your firearm shall be covered by Kel‐Tec.”
According to a Kel-Tec statement, an issue with the “heat treatment of certain steel tubes received from a third‐party supplier from which the barrels for a limited number of Kel‐Tec SUB‐2000 rifles were manufactured,” may rupture the barrels when firing cartridges. The safety of our customers is our primary concern, so Kel‐Tec has voluntarily initiated this recall because of the possibility of a barrel rupturing.”
