Item Description: This is a Sub 2000 that I picked up sometime back around 2002. It takes S&W 59 series magazines. It hasn't been shot much (<300 rounds), because the thing has been an unreliable jamming machine since I got it. At first, the bolt would shove the lip of the casings into the plastic at the front of the breach. I (very unprofessionally) gouged that out with a pocket knife at the range. Now it stove pipes instead. Sometimes I'll get 8 shots off before it happens, sometimes I'll only get one. Usually, it's in the 2-3 shot range. It includes the original box, the manual, the factory-included Mecgar 10 round magazine, the Tacticool bolt tube cover, the Tacticool recoil reducing buffer cylinder, the Tacticool operating handle cover, and one of the Keltec ejection clips (which they sent me in an attempt to remedy the issue [it seems that a lot of the early Subs suffered ejection problems]).
Here it is in it's natural environment... stove-piped:
