SUB-2000 Operating Handle Cover
The Kel-Tec SUB-2000 carbine is fun to shoot, but the steel operating handle isn't very ergonomic, and pulling back the bolt to chamber a round or verify the chamber is empty can tweak your finger. The SUB-2000 Operating Handle Cover is a quick and easy way to increase the comfort and make the SUB-2000 friendlier to shoot.
There are two versions of the SUB-2000 Operating Handle Cover.
The single layer version combines a soft durometer 64 Shore A black PVC that is UV and ozone resistant, providing 1/8" of padding to the steel operating handle and increasing the diameter to 5/8" for improved ergonomics. This provides essentially the same function as buying 3/8" ID, 5/8" OD Tygon tubing from Lowes or Home Depot, but if you did that it'd be clear with writing on the outside instead of tacticool black, and you'd spend almost as much buying the minimum one foot length.

The double layer version has an outer covering that is the same black PVC material described above, over an inner core of ultrasoft 40 Shore A PVC, adding a total of 1/4" of padding to the steel operating handle and increasing the diameter to a plush 7/8" for greatly improved ergonomics. The inner core and outer cover are bonded using an aerospace epoxy designed for high bond strength, but attempting to remove the 7/8" operating handle cover once installed will require flexing the operating handle cover in a manner that could result in delamination. There is no reason to remove the operating handle cover once installed, so this isn't usually a problem.

What Are The Disadvantages?
- The buffer tube cover adds an insignificant .10 to .25 ounces to the weight.
- The larger 7/8" operating handle cover pull
some hair if you have a bushy beard, so the 5/8" operating handle cover
is recommended for bearded subbie shooters.
How Durable Is The Operating Handle Cover?
The operating handle cover is made from resilient and durable PVC, which is immune to the effects of typical gun cleaners and lubricants, as well as ultraviolet sunlight and ozone. The operating handle cover has a lifetime warranty. If it ever fails, return it for analysis and we'll immediately ship a replacement.
