Optimize Your Kel-Tec SUB-2000: The Midwest Industries Aimpoint Red Dot Mount

For owners of the innovative Kel-Tec SUB-2000, enhancing its capabilities often involves adding an optic. However, the unique folding design of this pistol-caliber carbine presents a significant challenge: how do you mount a red dot sight without compromising its signature compact form factor? Midwest Industries, a leader in high-quality firearm accessories, offers an ingenious solution with their MI-G2SUB-T2 Aimpoint Red Dot Mount. This meticulously engineered mount is designed to specifically address the needs of SUB-2000 users, ensuring your optic enhances performance without sacrificing portability.

The Challenge of Optics on Folding Firearms: Why the SUB-2000 Demands a Specialized Mount

The Kel-Tec SUB-2000 is celebrated for its ability to fold in half, reducing its overall length significantly for easy transport and discreet storage. This crucial feature is what attracts many enthusiasts, preppers, and those seeking a highly portable carbine.

Standard optic mounting solutions often interfere with this folding mechanism, rendering the firearm less practical or even unusable in its folded state.

Imagine purchasing a red dot sight, only to discover that once mounted, your SUB-2000 can no longer fold. This defeats a primary purpose of owning such a firearm. The traditional Picatinny rail on the SUB-2000, while present, isn't always ideally positioned for optimal eye relief with certain optics, especially when considering the folding action. Furthermore, a mount must be robust enough to hold zero under recoil and repeated folding/unfolding, yet light enough not to imbalance the firearm or add unnecessary bulk.

This is precisely the problem the Midwest Industries MI-G2SUB-T2 mount solves. It’s not just an optic mount; it’s a foundational upgrade that preserves the core utility of your Kel-Tec SUB-2000 while enabling significant optical advantages.

Unpacking the Features: What Makes the MI-G2SUB-T2 Mount Superior?

The MI-G2SUB-T2 Aimpoint Red Dot Mount isn't merely a piece of metal; it's a precisely engineered component designed to maximize your Kel-Tec SUB-2000's potential.

Preservation of the Folding Mechanism: The Core Advantage

The standout feature of this mount is its innovative design that does not interfere with the pivot design of the Kel-Tec SUB-2000. This is paramount for any SUB-2000 owner. With the MI-G2SUB-T2 installed, your carbine can still fold completely for compact storage and transport, maintaining the very essence of the SUB-2000's utility. This eliminates the frustrating trade-off between optic use and portability that plagues generic mounting solutions.

Optimized Optic Compatibility: Designed for Popular Red Dots

This mount is specifically designed to accommodate Aimpoint T1/T2/H1/H2 red dots, as well as other similar clones that share the same micro-red dot footprint. This includes a wide range of popular, compact red dot sights known for their reliability and performance.

• Aimpoint T1: A legendary compact red dot, known for its ruggedness and long battery life.
• Aimpoint T2: The evolution of the T1, offering improved optical performance and even greater durability.
• Aimpoint H1/H2: Civilian versions of the T1/T2, offering similar performance without night vision compatibility.

The careful design ensures optimal sight height and eye relief for these popular optics on the SUB-2000 platform, enhancing target acquisition speed and accuracy.

Important Note: While versatile, this mount will not fit Bushnell Red Dots. Users should always confirm their optic's footprint before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Lightweight and Robust Construction: The Best of Both Worlds

At an overall weight of just 2.7 ounces, the MI-G2SUB-T2 adds negligible weight to your firearm. This is crucial for maintaining the SUB-2000's lightweight and maneuverable characteristics. Despite its light weight, the mount is exceptionally robust.

• Material: It is precision-machined from high-grade 6061 Aluminum. This aircraft-grade aluminum alloy is renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance, and good machinability. It provides the necessary rigidity to maintain zero, even under heavy use.
• Finish: The mount features a Hard Coat Anodized finish. This process creates a thick, durable, and corrosion-resistant layer on the aluminum surface, protecting it from wear, scratches, and environmental elements. It also provides a non-reflective matte black appearance that seamlessly integrates with most firearms.

Ease of Installation and Trust-Building Guarantees

The MI-G2SUB-T2 mount comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, making installation straightforward for most users. Midwest Industries provides clear instructions, ensuring a secure fit to your Kel-Tec SUB-2000.
