Review
I got the version with the two rubber sleeves, and it made all the difference in the world. Before, I had a ton of trouble pulling the charging handle far back enough to lock the bolt open. After installing this handle, it felt like I suddenly had a much lighter recoil spring. It's that much easier. The rubber sleeves help a lot as well. They are grippy and the increased surface area makes them more comfortable on bare hands as well.
i have the new screw kit, trigger guard, new trigger and spring kit also the charging handle cover. I have been looking at this double charging handle and finally said what the hell did not cost that much. It is great like everything else from these guys it is better made than anything going on.
The product itself is OK, but the support is non-existent. I needed help with the Sub2000 spring and wanted to know if I could get a price and send the spring assembly for modification by Mcarbo. Total silence even after follow up by phone and opening a support ticket. So, 3 stars for the parts, nothing for the support.
I admit I am new to firearms, but this should not be this hard to install. It is just a charging handle. I may update my review once I get it installed but who knows when that will happen.
The charging handle is not that easy to put in due to complicated locking pin, WTH is the Allen wrench for???). You will need to reinstall every time you take your gun apart to clean. It does feel good charging back but this charging handle will not all you to lock you bolt all the way back to the notch, so you can’t lock it back one the new charging handle is on which is big downer and can be a pain if you need to tinker with it in the field if that’s what you’re using it for. Expensive for something that does not provide same functionality as the stock charger
This thing isn’t even in the stratosphere of being worth the frustration. First time in my life that I had to bring any gun, including my sub 2k, to a gunsmith. Need to provide a jig to compress the spring. Infuriating install. I like all my other m carbo products. Despise this piece of trash.
The two finger pull is really easy. The first improvement I made. Very satisfied.
Old and arthritic fingers love this easily installed part. Two fingers rather than just one reduce the felt force needed to charge the weapon. Somebody had his thinking hat on for this one!
They were shipped promptly & arrived quickly. No problem installing them.
I don't know which upgrade made a bigger difference, this or the spring kit. To be safe, just get both. Since it's torn apart anyway, go ahead and buy the trigger. Seriously, this was a great upgrade. Charging the gun is 100X easier with this handle. I've tried one with the sleeve, and it's better than nothing, but it's still short and kind of chunky. This handle is longer, obviously, but the dipping process makes it easier to grip without adding bulk.
Due to the somewhat stiff compression rate of the spring and short length of pull, the factory single digit charging handle requires more exertion than some users have. The double handle completely fixes that! My wife can easily charge it now and I like it as well. The option of bare, coated or covered with a piece of tubing is individual. Bare has a small diameter and is more painful to the fingers, the coating gives it a great grip and a piece of tubing would increase the surface area that you have to pull against. I got the coated one and assuming that the coating is durable over time; it works perfectly. If it should wear over time, then replacing it with a section of tubing would be simple enough. To close: MCARBO has several great improvements for an innovative firearm and I look forward to the ones currently in development as well.
Great after market improvement.
pain in the ass to install
I am not sure how the recoil-less or the skeletonized charging handles perform, but the extended charging handle was a game changer. It was the ideal solution to the problem of the factory handle being awkward to grip and cycle. The extended handle increases control while easing stress while charging the weapon. I am 100% satisfied.
I purchased the 2 finger Charging Handle, for the KEL TECH Sub 2000, that comes with the Stainless Steel Locking pin. I was able to follow all the directions, but with my hands, I could not master putting the pin on the recoil spring. Sent it to the shop and it was done and returned within 6 days. Put it together and WORKS PERFECTLY. Love the parts, the service and Company. Highly Recommend to ALL!
I purchased the Double Finger Charging handle to improve my grip on the handle and it has proved exceptionally perfect for the job. One the Recoil Spring was outfitted with the new pin, it was easy to install and great to use. SO MUCH BETTER!
