The Midwest Industries Gen2 optic mount solves the long-standing problem with the Kel-Tec Sub-2000: how to run a modern red dot without losing the rifle's signature fold-in-half storage. This mount (MPN MI-G2SUB-R) provides a short section of Picatinny rail along with a T1/T2 base footprint, so shooters can mount common micro red dots directly or add their own rings. It is built for owners of Gen2 Sub-2000 carbines who want optic capability beyond the factory iron sights. Note that this mount fits Gen2 firearms only and is not compatible with Gen3 models.
The defining feature here is a patent-pending pivot design that keeps the optic mounted while still allowing the carbine to fold as the platform was intended. That means no removing the optic and rezeroing every time the rifle goes into storage or a pack. Midwest Industries machines the mount from 6061 aluminum with a hard-coat anodized finish, the same construction standard found across their MI optic mounts and rail products. Weight comes in at 2.7 ounces, so it adds almost nothing to the carbine's already light handling. All mounting hardware is included in the box, and the mount carries the MI lifetime warranty. Everything is made in the United States.
A Sub-2000 set up with this mount becomes far more practical for home defense, range work, and truck-gun duty, since you keep both a usable red dot and the compact folded profile. Pick a micro optic with a T1/T2 footprint for a direct mount, or use a small Picatinny optic to suit your setup. If you are still deciding on an optic platform or comparing rail solutions across other carbines, browse the full range of scope mounts and rings to match your build.
No. Midwest Industries specifies this Gen2 mount is not compatible with Gen3 firearms. It is designed for the Gen2 Kel-Tec Sub-2000 platform. Verify your carbine's generation before ordering to make sure the pivot design and mounting points line up correctly.
Yes. The patent-pending pivot design lets the Sub-2000 fold as designed while the optic stays mounted. You do not have to remove the red dot or rezero each time you fold the carbine for compact storage or transport.
The mount includes a short Picatinny rail section plus a T1/T2 base footprint. Micro red dots built on a T1 or T2 pattern can mount directly, and Picatinny-compatible optics attach to the rail section. Choose a low-profile micro optic for the cleanest setup.
