Jeff Quinn ( www.gunblast.com ) tests the Kel-Tec CMR-30 Lightweight 22 Magnum Semi-Automatic Carbine.
The Kel-Tec CMR-30 carbine is a dandy little lightweight 22 Magnum rifle. It is capable of match-grade accuracy, has a generous magazine capacity, and can double as a handy predator-hunting rifle and a compact weapon for home defense. The CMR-30 is built right, and built in the USA. Suggested retail price, as of the date of this review, is $630 US, and includes two thirty-round magazines and owner’s manual.

A company called "American Speed Loaders" makes an awesome KelTec CMR-30 / PMR-30 loader that saves one's thumb with very little effort as it loads the magazine pointed down with a single push...great thing they're made in USA!
I could listen to this guy talk forever. Just authentic mountain jiberish.
"31 shots gonna hit something" Love it!
i smiled when he said that
Just got mine, partly because of your excellent review! Thanks very much for your diligent work!
*30 round mags.
I really want to get this combo. It is a great plinker, small game gun, decent home defense, and the perfect survival gun. You can take 2 guns, all 4 mags loaded and an extra box of 500 rounds for 10 pounds. That is the weight of a modern AR-15 with 3 mags or a shotgun with 25 rounds. I personally would get the factory 5" optional barrel with flash suppressor for the PMR-30 as this gun has a large muzzle flare. It also adds about 5% to the muzzle velocity. I wish I had the money for a gun, but they are far down my list of must haves. I'd get a KSG too if the put side loaders like a typical shotgun. You would have to have them on both sides and the would be back pretty far, but the flaps on the side loaders would switch the mags. An auto switcher would also be nice when one tube is empty. Those two changes would make it a great gun... to make it perfect would be to make it a semi-auto... :D I really like the Kel-tec designs though.
Thanks for the loading tip. Got a couple extra mags for my PMR and with the two these come with it's nice to have six mags loaded (expensive, but nice). Great review as usual. Keep-up the great work.
Rest in power brother 😢
I bought my CMR-30 last summer and was surprised at how accurate it was. I was expecting it to be pretty good but this thing is actually fairly extraordinary. I shoot it with a Vortex red dot sight and I definitely could be more accurate with a small scope. I've also been very impressed with its reliability. Never a problem out of this one. It's also incredibly fun to shoot.
Excelente arma
22 mag is a excellent cartridge
That Leupold is a nice piece of glass. I'd love me one of those for long range hunting.
"Mostly just gravy!" Love it!!
Jeff can see the bullets spin with that scope.
22 mag is no joke. I’ve put some big critters down with mine.
Nest loader is awesome. I can load a full mag in less than a minute and it solves the cycling problem too.
Was looking for this left-hand fired and you got it. Thanks. Subscribed
Jeff is a legend!!!!! Miss you brother.
When I grow up, I want to be Jeff. Great review, thanks.
I'm left handed, and always wanted one. You took my worries away.
Great review Jeff! Thanks!
brilliant review, thank you for your time.
I have a Keltec PLR 16. It's a blast to shoot.
MCARBO make a load assistance device, as well as an upgraded stainless steel feed ramp and a recessed magazine button so you're less likely to drop your mags accidentally.
I got a two-legged predator who climbs my fence getting into my yard. This looks like a great persuader to keep him out.
I love mine, it is my everyday carry due to it light weight and short length. It so easy to handle in a vehicle and tucks nicely between the seat and console. I have mine with spotlight and lazer . Recommend it for pasture tours cheching for calfs and coyotes.
Great video sir! Thank you. Love your work!
Spray and pray, love it man, great for the short distance
Would love to have one to go along with my PMR30. That's a run gun to shoot and I have no doubt the CMR30 would be no different, they are just hard to find. But if you do find one they usually are marked up to twice the msrp.
Great review. I appreciate what you do
I've got one with over 500 rounds down the pipe. One of those rounds was behind a wild hogs ear. Dropped on the spot with 40 CCI fmj. Only problem has been a broken firing pin. Suspect it was from dry firing. Phone call to Kel Tec and had 2 replacements next day.
I use the LULA mag loader for mine, because loading 4 mags is a long process by hand. It loads them correctly and quickly. Money well spent .
This came up as a recommended video.
I miss you Jeff…
I respect he said you don't wanna no how good I can shoot you wanna know how well the gun operates pretty much
I want one, I love Kel tec!
Hey Jeff. I got one and it seems to like the 30 grain Hornady and Winchester V-max type rounds just as much as the cci 40 jhp's. Definitely not complaining. LoL
thanks for another great review.
my local gun shop got one in yesterday and I'm going to pick it up this morning!
My Condolences
@@MrChris-bx7ss why? These work great. 100% reliable if used as recommended . I would bet you haven’t even shot one.
Found two locally in Maryland. Bought one. Probably paid too much, but being Maryland the prices are always a bit dear.
Long as your happy...I'd love to have one, just picked up a lil Rossi RS22 22lr and been wanting a 22mag every since then...yeah there not the biggest most powerful but neither is the human body!!
Great firearm. Good review.
would like to get my hands on one of these.
I’m going to see about SBRing it so I can get closer to having an MP7 without the cost of FFL/SOT.
I like the CMR .22 WMR. It's pretty compact. Bullet strength Enough to shoot the armor or stop the boar.
Comparing it to a Ruger 10/22... Would it be a better rifle for affordability or survivability? Definitely has its perks for being small. And it's also known for being able to punch through some pretty tough stuff.
Love my CMR, and CP33
Been watching for years. Just subbed, can I ask what state you're from? Great vid. Thank you
Thanks for the info.love your style sir👍🏿
Finally, available up here in Canada....
love the reviews
Maglula does make a real sweet loader for the pmr/cmr
This looks very interesting!
I got my wife one for Christmas. She LOVES IT. I like playing with it to, it's shockingly light in the hand and shoots as well as my grendel at 50 yards, but starts to open up at 100 just a little (the grendel opens up at 200 due to my lack of skill).
Hope you like spending a lot of money on ammo
They do exist! Great tip on loading the mag. for the 20 people who found one lol.
Great video. Good job.
I was thinking this or the h&k 416 22 but this is magnum and goes well with the pmr 30
Jeff, What is the possibility. Keltec hand picks the one they send you.
I appreciate all you do and your. Great reviews. Thanks
Not likely. The way they handle it, it is just pulled out of inventory by the shipping department. Some gun companies do cherry-pick the guns for writers, but most do not.
jeff
Gunblastdotcom Jeff, You have never steered me wrong. I appreciate it. a lot of times my wallet doesn't Lol keep them coming thank you
@@1pieman I've seen alot of bad reviews of the cmr-30, and it's almost always the reviewers fault for not READING THE OWNERS MANUAL and using underpowered ammo. Makes sense that this is a common mistake among gun enthusiasts, since most are dumb enough to place their unwaivering trust in Trump.
this is probably the only keltec product i would ever buy.
Sam Vegas The Kel Tec P11 is the beat pistol ever created.
Do more research and you’ll buy a few more of the guns they make 👌
I still miss you my friend
I have to add rides to the collection
Just Found one of these online for 400..think I'll order it looks like a really nice gun and in 22mag...i was hoping someone would come out with a Ruger 10/22 type rifle but in 22mag but all i ever see are bolt action so this is a must have!!
Wish I could find one, I've been actively looking for one For two years!! Not overpriced, like on certain sites, but I'll pay full MSRP!
Wayne L. Cass tacswap right now if you’re still looking
i really like the 22 magnum definitely will be purchasing
Is the magazine still plastic. Has it been upgraded at all in any aspect. It does seem to be quite accurate for what it is . Wish the barrel was 17.5 " long but it's a compact carbine style.
Thank You Great video.
I have one, the plastic mags are trash. They begin to bow after 19 rounds and mine will not feed any type ammo properly after 20 rounds. I will try one of the loaders, wish someone made metal mags for it. The rifle is very accurate when it cycles properly.
great video!
A ammunition as .25 mag maybe (450-550 J of energy ) centerfire would be super amazing for that kind of gun , super high capacity and a good power.
Thinking on getting one still thinking
I enjoy mine, no problems, just load the magazines carefully. The iron sights are actually quite good. I have a Silencer Co Sparrow suppressor which is rated for .22 magnum.. it's not overly large or heavy.
Do you still need hearing protection?
@@MichaelJordan-hn4zd The bullets are still supersonic, so yes.
is 40 grain the heaviest 22 mag round available?
Is it threaded for flash hider or suppressor? I've shot the pistol and it puts on quite a light show at the range if you know what I mean.
It is threaded.
Boge
It would be nice if keltec made a 30 caliber version of that
that's the biggest cartridge we are allowed to use in semi autos in New Zealand.
Jeff what kel Tec isn't hard to get,its a nice rifle but not at 600+/-for two hundred I'm lookn at the mossberg 22lr tactical and throw on a $200.scope.For rabbits and such I use h.v. jhp,For the price of 22mag.I would just break out an AR,ya know what mean?
great review sir! I would love to have this combo of the PMR30/CMR30. Great combo with the interchangable ammo and mags.. and considering .22lr has killed about more folks than any other round in civilian cases... Id say .22wmr is plenty good enough for most situations in civilian home/self defense.
I love powerful guns, but the ability to put a lot of rnds ON Target, and have a lot of ammo on hand is also considerable. I think most folks dont realize how quick a punctured lung will take ANYONE out of a fight.
Subscribed! Love your reviews brother. Rock on!
.22 mag out of 18 inch barrel is creeping up into 9mm territory as far as energy goes. I carry a 9mm with hot loads. I would be absolutely comfortable with a .22 mag for self defense.
My oldest daughter is a little bit recoil sensitive. I'm still shopping, but she will have her own .22mag pistol and rifle very soon. I'm looking into the cz512. I like this Kel TEC, but I don't want her to have to worry about having the right ammo. Quite frankly, I have had bad experiences with Kel TEC as far as reliability. Awesome fun guns, but I won't bet her life on them.
She is very accurate with my .22 mag bolt action and revolver.
I agree with you. A .44 mag wouldn't do her much good if she flinches and misses her target. That's why I carry a 9mm. I'm not a big guy, and I am able to shoot quickly AND accurately with a 9.
I love my .45, but I am much slower with it.
Do they use the same mag
"31 shots I'm gonna hit somethin'." If nothing else they are going to be scattering, that's for sure.
Looks fun.
31 shots I am going to hit something! 😂
I want one of these
Amazon.com sells speed loaders and they are about 22 bucks
looks nice
There is a lot of ingnorance over these guns. The design goes back a long way. Kel Tec is born from the ashes of Grendel. I had a grendal p30 once. A 22 magnum, 30 rounds, fluted chamber (sound familiar?) I had to fashion my own firing pin to get it functional cause it was used and shot quite a bit.
However back to topic. The only difference between the grendel and kel tec is the outer cosmetics. the pistol is the same design. the carbine is the same design. Grendel came out with its carbine called the R31back in the early 90s but it was discontinued almost as soon as it came out as the anti-assault weapon movement was getting established and the magazine bans came (correct me if I am wrong).
So why Keltec took so long to develop these guns is pretty ridiculous. They already had the designs and what is even more they tried to go without fluting the chamber first, ignoring the reasoning behind the first design. So later models of the Kel tecs now incorporate the fluted chamber. This is an example of moving the landmarks that the elders put in place.
Anyway just thought I would throw this out there for those who think the design is something new and 21st century example of engineering.
Pretty interesting bit of information thank you
17 HMR I would buy one !
I think your video is getting clipped Jeff. It ends while you're talking and doesn't have the traditional music ending. RUclips ad interference?
No idea what the problem is, so I re-loaded the video:

Boge
Gee guy," that's all folk"! What does it cost and is it cost effective?
Thanks for vid
i really wish they had this in 9mm, looks so much better than the sub 2000 imo
There are a ton of 9mm carbines out there. This is a different niche and makes them $$.
I just bought 2 of these today.
😁 j/k they are sold out everywhere.
AKBuilder762 I seem them at every gun show. Y'all just ain't lookin
Great job - AGAIN - Jeff. Once again, you are costing me money. I watched this video, and purchased one this week for $300 new, shipped, from PSA.
They are $650 now
I guess the caliber is adequate for self defense when you consider the capacity
A blow gun is good for defense if you know how to use it
If you’re one of them people who thinks 22 Mag won’t kill you. Stand 30 yards out and take one to the chest. You won’t get up lol ive seen that very round explode a white tail deers skull at roughly 50 yards. It might be “smaller” but it does a serious number on what it’s hitting.
I’m getting one.
EXCELENTE
I get so many malfunctions with my pmr30..so upsetting..its the newer model pmr30 also at that..i know forsure its not the mags or how I'm loading the mag.i love the freaking thing but 5 malfunction with each mag is unacceptable
moey nolala how many rounds have you put through it?, it takes a couple hundred rounds to break it in, but even the first mag you put through it shouldn't have that many malfunctions, it could be the ammo you are using also.
moey nolala you have to load the mags very carefully (don't start with full mags till it's all broken in), and it's ammo brand picky.
always clean and lube it after use, especially when new as cheap rimfire ammo can leave brass fouling in the action.
if you do all of the above and you don't have a total lemon then it should work. from everything I'm seeing, the CMR is more reliable than the pmr. But like I said it's ammo sensitive. I switched brands and my malfunctions went away.
maybe so.i have under 100rounds using winchester super x 40 grain and cci maxi mag..i do useally load 20- 25 round and while at the range I was feild striping and wiping,lubing it up after each mag thinking that the next mag should run flawless,but that wasn't the case..im going to try a few more brands of ammo and try to see if i can break it in some more...i hear that the cmr30 is more reliable but man i really like my pmr30..i wont be giving up on it and if it keeps acting up then it's going back to keltec..now i do want to say that keltec sent me a call tag to send it back but I didn't want my gun gone for 8 weeks so I figured ill try and break it in some more,if not then yes it'll be going back
The brand I had problem with was winchester.
Also, if you have a family and want to visit Disney world in Florida (or universal, anywhere in Orlando), then I recommend you call and visit. Their base of operations is in Cocoa FL and it's about 1.5 hours from Orlando. Erica at the front desk is phenomenal. Sometimes they'll check out your gun in 1 day if you physically visit, no shipping, no charge, and their lobby includes an accessories shop with loads of rare items, mags, options, merchandise and display guns that they'll let you handle while you wait (even some of their prototypes, the RDB-C for instance, are available on display).
They're wonderful people and if you do it on a Wednesday and call ahead they'll give you a free tour of the factory.
+moey nolala That Winchester ammo is the problem... it's just crap. Even their .22 LR ammo is bad. They recommend high velocity ammo, so that puts you with Federal/CCI/Speer, Hornady, and some Remington loads work good too. I've had some good luck with Fiocchi even when I had my PMR-30. But I often just kept to CCI/Speer/Federal as its what was available and it works just fine.
I want one
KelTec only builds guns for 10 minutes on Sunday. I've been waiting years for a Sub2000. Maybe I'll get one before my 90th birthday.
SuperSneakySteve 3 years later i JUST got my PMR 30 in July by chance
Gunbroker has one any day of the week.
Try preppergunshop.com
I found a sub2k at my local gunshop, they only had the green one but i took it home, feeling lucky now
They need to make it in 357 Sig.
Somebody needs to make a 30 rd 357 magnum magazine
too bad I'll never get to see one
I have said this so many times before I want to love Kel-tec , innovative and American made. How does every desirable firearm they make end up 3rd market with a jacked up price or with serious design flaws { key hole at 20ft}.
I just put one on layaway(at $519.99)!
You can buy one on Gunbroker any day of the week.
What's the problem?
starrider1900 I just got one
I`ll never see one here in MD either.
If someone would come up with a pic rail mount so you could mount a PMR30 to the lower rail of a CMR30.....60 rounds on tap.....
Now that's a damn good idea👍
That would turn the rifle into an SBR, and you'd have to pay a tax stamp and register it.
Not bad but I think a 22 hmr- magnum ruger Fletcher would be a better gun with a difference between customization options
They need to chamber both the CMR and PMR for 30 Carbine.
I want to get me one of these. But $600 is kind of pricey. What do you recommend I pay for new one?
MSRP is $500, so normally you would think $400-450 would be a fair price, but these are different times. $600 is about average these days - if you want one now, you'll probably have to pay that. As my brother Jeff used to say, you can never pay too much for a gun, just too soon.
