• Free Serial Number Lookup For Guns

Hi danger, just relaying some information about the six character SN: nhvalentine: 9-12-16: I just got off of the telephone with Keltec. As most of you know all KSG's start with an 'X' serial number.

I'll make sure I enabled saving it - I may have missed that step, but make sure you try saving it to your google drive instead of your desktop. On a related note, a buddy of mine just found one at a gun show and called me about it. The S/N has 6 characters in it which of course won't work with this calculator. Anyone ever seen one with that many characters and the differences in finding out the build order?

This will come in very handy if you are hunting different kinds of game in the forest and want to switch shells so that you can use the most suitable shell for whatever animal you’re currently shooting. The retail price of the KSG Sureshell Carrier and Rail is $229.99.

The product is made in the United States and can be purchased online. Recommended Product. At 03:28 I just wanted to let you know that you misquoted the price for the mesa sure she’ll carrier for the kel tec KSG. It’s actually $229.99 not $29.99 as written, “The retail price of the KSG Sureshell Carrier and Rail is $29.99. The product is made in the United States and can be purchased online”. There’s a small picatinny rail upgrade right below the carrier upgrade for $29.99 that you might’ve confused it with.

First Impression,it looks cool and that’s where the good impressions end. The gun is very awkward almost to the point of difficult to load and you will most likely cut your finger doing so. Now imagine trying to load this thing in the field under high stress situations. I dont see how it is possible to combat load a round into the chamber without turning the gun upside down. The magazine selector switch is very hard to manipulate from right to left on my gun and would need to be in the neutral position to attempt a combat load, which is one more extra step which would most likely get you shot in the face in real combat.

At the range the KSG is accurate. At 7-10 yards with laser sight, it is dead on target. Because of the lack of a stock, receiver at shoulder, I thought the kick of it would be significant. With 2 3/4 shells is kicks about the same as my Remington 870 Wingmaster pump shotgun.

However, that gas adjustment head variant worries me, as its usually a major indicator that differentiates between Gen1 vs. You could always check the serial when you receive it to see date of manufacture as well. If it's a Gen2 with a Gen1 part, I'm sure you could contact Kel-Tec to get it sorted out.

Recommended Product: Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun Kydex Cheek Rest The Kel-Tec KSG Kydex Cheek Rest is an upgrade for the Kel-Tec KSG pump action shotgun that you’ll find convenient when it comes to aiming your weapon. It is lightweight so you won’t feel much of a difference while holding your weapon after you apply the cheek rest.

IMPORTANT SUB-2000 SAFETY RECALL NOTICE We have recently identified an issue with the heat treatment of certain steel tubes received from a third-party supplier from which the barrels for a limited number of Gen 2 SUB-2000 rifles were manufactured. This could potentially cause the barrel to rupture when a cartridge is fired and could result in serious personal injury. The safety of our customers is our primary concern, so Kel-Tec has voluntarily initiated this recall because of the possibility of a barrel rupturing. This recall only affects a portion of Gen 2 SUB-2000s that were manufactured in 2017. Gen 1 SUB-2000s are not affected. To check if your firearm would need to be sent in for barrel replacement, please follow this link: All costs associated with the recall of your firearm shall be covered by Kel-Tec.

When you have to endure hard transitions and pulls, they will stay solid for you as well. The Kel-Tec KSG Single Point Sling Attachment is priced at $19.99. This is a very reasonable price for such an attachment. It is also made in the United States so you know you’re getting a quality product and not some knock off that was made overseas. The best part is that if you purchase the sling attachment through the Brownells.com website, it will come with a 100% lifetime satisfaction guarantee. That means if the sling attachment does not live up to the durability and reliability that it’s advertised as having, then you can return the product for a full refund or exchange. There aren’t too many companies like Brownells that will offer such a sweet deal to its customers.

That way, if you are facing rough environmental conditions or subject your weapon to accidental drops onto the ground, the carrier will not be damaged from the impact. Now getting back to the dual-sided feature of this carrier, you don’t have to store the same type of shells on both sides. The benefit to having carrying slots on each side of your weapon is so you can carry a variety of shells like birdshot, buckshot, and slugs.

There have been quite afew problems with the gun, but as time goes by and newer generation pistols become available improvements are made. Mine is a GenIII I believe. There is a KelTec Owners Group forum where much discussion of all KelTec products is brought up. All in all so far a great pistol for what I'm using it for, a back up for my.22WMR varminting rifle. I shot about 350 rounds through it using BVAC 40grn HP's. Great accuracy with zero malfunctions up to that point.

Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun The two countries which use the Kel-Tec KSG the most in their law enforcement and military are South Korea and France. The reason other countries don’t use it is probably because of the mixed feedback it’s gotten from users who’ve tested the weapon. Some claim the shotgun works great while others say there’s sometimes double feeding and that the selector switch tends to break easily.

Makes them fine toys and range guns, but not weapons. Again, this rail seems to me to be a bad design, and not some freak accident that only happened to 1 or 2 customers. I bet we’ll hear about this happening more and more until KelTec finally fixes the design. This is far from the first time KelTec cheaped out with a plastic part and had to go back and replace it (plastic mag releases anyone?). Cheap plastic rail you KNOW people are going to put vertical foregrips on + a vertical foregrip that is going to torque that cheap plastic rail Eventually something is bound to break especially since most people don’t baby the pumps on their shotguns when racking them. Exactly nice polite emails and UPS pickup tickets mean nothing if the basic idiot design of plastic lower rail stays the same (sorry engineered polymer). I’m not trying to sound overly negative, but for a company that is trying to overturn its image as a low rent gun maker, I think the tone of their customer service needs to be different.

I shot about 350 rounds through it using BVAC 40grn HP's. Great accuracy with zero malfunctions up to that point. I then installed a Burris Fast Fire RDS on the gun and still had great accuracy and zero malfunctions until about 450 rounds when I had an out of battery incident. The misfire blew the slide stop button off and of course the gun remained out of battery with the ruptered case still in the chamber. I sent the whole thing back to KelTec and they replaced the barrel, extractor and slide stop. I only have about 100 rounds through it since I got it back but so far so good. There have been quite afew problems with the gun, but as time goes by and newer generation pistols become available improvements are made.

Kel Tec is strange. Cool stuff but you can't get one.

I can tell you this much about the gun, dont buy it. I waited months for mine and recently took delivery of it and as any excited boy with a new toy would do,I cleaned it and I went straight to the range.

All in all so far a great pistol for what I'm using it for, a back up for my.22WMR varminting rifle. Is the slide already set up for a mini red dot? Nice post Dredsen.

~~If there is a thread that already discusses this I apologize for not seeing it. Logged Administrator Bullpup Fanatic Offline Posts: 3,225 SEMPER FIDELIS. I don't know the date, but I'll see if I can find out. The 1st gen has a gas regulator that accepts the butt end of a case to twist (kinda a half moon cut-out). The 2nd gen has holes in the 'dial' so a bullet tip can be inserted to twist the dial.

We tend to have visitors of the coyote and striped-assed rodent variety. The PMR is a neat little gun.

On a related note, a buddy of mine just found one at a gun show and called me about it. The S/N has 6 characters in it which of course won't work with this calculator.

While nothing in the serial number (other than maybe the 1st Character) relate to Style, Color, or Manufacture Date, if you were to call and give them your serial number, they could tell you (from the Computer Db) the manufacture date, style and original color.

These loops are where you will attach your single point sling. There are a variety of single point slings that are compatible with this attachment, but the most recommended one is the Magpul MS3 which comes with Para Clips. You can pick that up at most sporting goods stores for around $27. If you have your own single point sling, then try that out and see if it’s adequate. If it is not, go with the Magpul MS3 because it will work best with it. The sling attachment will fit well and will do its job properly after it’s installed.

See Mesa Tactical shot shell carrier. Overall for us, our two KSG’s have performed as they were designed to do. In a tactical or home defense situation, they are light, short enough to maneuver and carry a substantial number of rounds (15) to get the job done. Again, the KSG may have some issues with the strength of the forend but I firmly believe it is isolated to a few that will end up being operator error. I would highly recommend this platform for the 12 gauge shotgun and I look forward to other offerings from other manufacturers in the future. KelTec did revolutionize the shotgun platform with the KSG. From a tactical advantage to home defense advantage you have to shoot this gun to realize what it offers.

I was curious on another at a local gun shop about the unit they had in stock and it had 6 serial numbers. Again when I used the previous SN sheet it docked calc'd this serial number at 105,544 (which was a lot better).

There’s no RA number needed. Please pack it in an unmarked box.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this will certainly cause. Please contact your Federal representatives and tell them you do not support banning ANY pump-action shotguns, or other firearms.

I just bought a new RFB ordered from the factory, should be gen 2 right? It has a gas adjust that takes the butt end of the casing though. Not really sure what I have. Logged Moderator Member Offline Posts: 216. If you have the rifle in front of you, pull back slightly on the charging handle and look up at the front of the carrier channel where it touches the gas piston. If you see a spring touching the gas piston face(hidden by carrier when it is closed/forward), that is a second generation mechanism. But it should have a hole cross drilled thru the gas adjuster that you can stick the tip of a bullet into to assist with adjusting the gas(never needed this on mine as it turns pretty easilly).

I've been lurking the forums for a couple months now before deciding to register as a member. Of course I found it while looking for my own RFB, but I just want to know where I can find information on when Keltec started shipping out their 2nd Generation RFBs with the new gas system. Or maybe tell me what the major differences/improvements in the two are? ~~If there is a thread that already discusses this I apologize for not seeing it.

I hope police departments aren’t going to stake people’s lives on this thing. All I had to buy was a p3at and I saw this.

However, the reason for the low number was because the formula didn't compensate for the 6th digit. I was curious on another at a local gun shop about the unit they had in stock and it had 6 serial numbers. Again when I used the previous SN sheet it docked calc'd this serial number at 105,544 (which was a lot better).

Because if it’s a quality piece of gear, and I’m not beating the crap out of it, I should never need to know. Now if he were doing something above and beyond with it, like taking on a pack of wolves and then using it as a club when he’d run out of ammo, breaking the rail in the prcess, and they were super cool about it then that would be a noteworthy story.

4473s are not likely to be required. What you will certainly need is the appropriate firearms license from your new jurisdiction. You mentioned MA. For nothing but basic long guns, an FID is required and MA is “shall issue” for the FID. For anything else, you’d need a License To Carry. MA is “may issue” for the LTC, but some towns are “shall issue” in fact, if not in law. I get real tired of hearing about how great Blahblahblah’s service/return policy is.

However, the difference you will notice is how much better the stock will feel when it’s rested up against your cheek as you’re aiming the weapon. The material is soft and won’t make your cheek feel uncomfortable at all. At the same time, it is also very durable and will be able to sustain tough environmental conditions that it may be subjected to. So, for example, if it were to rain outside while you’re aiming the shotgun, you don’t have to worry about your cheek slipping off the cheek rest from all the moisture that’s in the air. Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun Kydex Cheek Rest When you go to upgrade your shotgun, you’ve probably had different experiences when it comes to the difficulty of applying certain upgrades. Fortunately, the KSG Kydex Cheek Rest is probably one of the easiest upgrades to make to your Kel-Tec KSG shotgun.
