Kel-Tec CMR/PMR Thread/Photos

More Cow bell Please. Just kidding!!! I own both and love them for chiseler hunting along with my savages 17 wsm/ 22mag. What optics and ammo are you running through both? Feel free to post photos in this thread. Modifications? Sweet little guns. I like to blame them for starting my gun addiction. They weren't available like most Kel-Tec vaporware so I had to buy other guns to satisfy my habit and its been all downhill from there. Any one know of a cure? More guns? Feel free to add your $.02?

I have been thinking about a cmr. I would like to put hands on one first though.

They feel just like the pistol. Its just the rifle version! They did a spot on job with both of them. I won't trust my life to them though a little finicky. I find that Hornady 30gn. work best and does quite number on varmints! I love mine. I wouldn't trade them for anything. I just sold a Fn 5.7 and ps90.

I took apart my CMR tonight to clean/inspect/lube and I found a broken part. It looks like the plastic buffer at the back of the recoil spring is cracked and hanging on by a thread. I'll have to give them a call tomorrow and see what they say? I post here after I talk to them. My PMR keeps breaking the take down pin, I think I'm on my 6th or 7th pin. They keep breaking every 300 or 400 rounds?

Are you missing those FN's??? I would.

Shot a friends PMR a few weeks ago, though have shot others. Kinda cool being so light but it's hard to load a full mag and they jam once in a while like every couple mags.

Not really. I don't know what it is, i just like the rimfires more! I can't explain it?

That'll happen. I built up a rifle to mimic my "real" rifle and just couldn't get enough of it. The "real" rifle is gone and the "trainer" remains.

I have yet to shoot my CMR, but I need to because that is going to be my truck gun for the ranch. I'd take a pic, but it is still in the box!

I called Kel-Tec and they are shipping me parts for the CMR and new pins for the PMR for free. They asked me if I wanted to ship it in and I said NO. Parts are headed my way. Hell ya!!!!!!!!
