Frequently Asked Questions

How do you field strip a KEL-TEC KSG shotgun?

To field strip the KEL-TEC KSG, first ensure it's clear and safe. Remove the two lower receiver pins, then the buttstock. Pull the action bar back to remove the bolt carrier group. Unscrew the mag tube caps to detach the barrel assembly. Reassembly involves reversing these steps, paying close attention to seating the bolt correctly.

What tools are needed to disassemble the KEL-TEC KSG?

For basic field stripping of the KEL-TEC KSG, you primarily need your hands. However, a 12 gauge shotshell or a quarter can be used as a tool to help unscrew the magazine tube end caps, which can sometimes be tight.

What is the most difficult part of reassembling the KEL-TEC KSG?

The most challenging part of reassembling the KEL-TEC KSG is correctly reinserting the bolt carrier group. It must be inserted sideways with the lug flush, then turned to fit through the receiver slots before the slide is run forward until it clicks securely into place.

How do you remove the barrel assembly from the KEL-TEC KSG?

After removing the lower receiver, buttstock, and bolt carrier group, you can remove the barrel assembly. Push down on the action bar to clear it, then the entire barrel assembly, along with the mag tubes, can be lifted away from the receiver.
