The KelTec SUB2000 5.7x28mm semi-auto rifle (KelTec part no. SUB2K57BLKCA) takes KelTec’s folding-stock carbine design and builds it around the fast, flat-shooting 5.7x28mm cartridge in a configuration built to meet California’s compliance requirements. A 16.5-inch barrel keeps this SUB2000 legal as a rifle, while the compact folding design that made the SUB2000 famous makes it easy to store in a truck, pack, or safe. It is a natural pairing for shooters who already carry a 5.7-chambered pistol and want the same round in a carbine.
