One Dead Trunk Monkey

Welp I was cleaning my Kel Tec sub2k last night

When I got to the barrel I spotted a crack :tough: in the hinge where the barrel ataches to the plastic hinge.So after cleaning it a little I noticed the crack travels the entire distance of the hinge :mad:

After a few minutes of cursing I flipped the dam* thing over and theres another crack :drool: in the exact same spot,and the exact same length.

So whats going on here?This has baffled me.

It looks as though the barrel over heated causing the plastic to crack or something.

I guess Ill have to wait until KelTec wakes up tomorrow to see what can be done...

Heres a picture of the cracks

The last time I shot her was with Towerclimber and me had some light strikes.I chalked it up to some bad Wolf ammo,so I threw it in my bag and figured ohh well,maybe this thing doesnt like Wolf :drool:

anyhoo I just got to thinking about that and wondered if there would be some connection there?Now Im thinking it was cracked then and it was keeping the barrel from making a good connection to the receiver,thus keeping the firring pin from hitting the primmer hard enough :tough: Does that sound like a possibility?

strickj......saw your post on my post re: the subbie hate that has happened to yours....curious as to about how many rounds you have in yours.

For what it's worth I am given to understand Kel-Tec is supposed to have some good customer service

Just wondering about a follow up on this, I've been thinking about getting a SUB myself kinda wondering what the outcome was.
