r/Springfield_KUNA

I thought that I would share this here as I am going through this.

My KUNA was made June 2026, it has an updated lower from the factory that looks like it was created to prevent the use of a trip. it causes SEVERE binding.

Updated version

Original Design

Trip with binding marks

 

I have been talking with /u/YourBroStevo and that is his impression as well.

Upon deeper inspection, it does not look like these raised, I'll call them, fingers have any try function inside of the firearm. My thought is to grind them down to the previous version's profile.

 

Just wanted to share this incase people who recently purchased a KUNA were contemplating ordering or making their own trips.

 

 

I reached out to SA asking what the function of these raised fingers are and they gave me vague responses;

"After a product is released, we continue to evaluate an improve our products. As part of that ongoing process, Enhanced design features may be incorporated into firearms already in production in order to help with fluxionality."

I asked for additional details and got this as a response:

"It can depend, this is pry feeding and extraction.

So runs smoother."

 

 

Does anyone else have these in theirs that is running the factory lower FRT?

What have you done to allow a trip to function? (I am currently PA6-CF, however, I am wondering if I were to have this made of metal with a groove in the middle to allow the finger to remain, what longevity would I be sacrificing?)

Worried your buddy with a Stribog is looking down on you? Regretting that you didn’t get that sexy squared off hand guard? We’ll have we got something for you!

…Actually, I am working on a super flush handguard.
I’m going to use the internal geometry of the handguard to index on, and potentially features on the top of the receiver as well.
I’m debating using the front side mlok points to secure it, maybe with a low profile plate on the outside.

I’m open to suggestions, what would people like to see? Extended to the limit of the muzzle device ports with the same profile as the original front? Squared off?
Flared out and much longer for a suppressor or flash can?

Gonna run it tomorrow, weather permitting (local private range is a mud hole when it rains hard) Blazer Clean Suppressed 147s and Sellier and Bellot 150g suppressed. Finners crossed it's as good as the reviews that got me here.

Form 1 approved today went with Sig minimalist stock. Shot great for 250 rounds. Preferred it to an mpx that I have put around 3000 rounds through. Rugged Sub 9 is on the way.

PLA+ concept amongst a few other ideas I will show later. Fitment is snug and I could honestly strengthen it if a few places. A little small exterior and a little too snug. Need some ideas or do I try out this telescopic brace idea? Maybe a stock or a brace idk yet.

A lot of you guys saw the other handguard I posted that was an extended version of the Skye. There were enough issues I had with that version that I decided to model a new one from scratch. I dropped the pic section to reduce splash from the IR light when my thumb is on the switch.

The sides have a plate system that allow the mounting hardware to be installed after the handguard is one. So getting the Mlok nuts in from the front it not a pain anymore.

The cutout for the mounting plates are the same size as a BCM QD sling mount so that can be used in place of one of the plates. Pretty happy with the progress. Need to make a few minor adjustments and then try printing with PA6.

I'm building a battle belt for a Springfield Kuna PCC and a handgun. There aren't many options for mag pouches that fit Kuna mags but lots of folks seem to like the HSGI Taco so that's what I'm getting. HSGI currently offers both their gen 1 mag pouches and gen 2 mag pouches.

The Gen 1 series has both single mag pouches and double mag pouches for tall pistol mags.

The Gen 2 series only offers single mag pouches for tall pistol mags.

My options are essentially a 1X "Gen 1" double mag pouches or 2X "Gen 2" single mag pouches. I will be attaching the pouches to an Esstac battle belt using One-Wrap velcro strips.

This is my first battle belt and I don't have much background knowledge so I wanted to see if there are any serious disadvantages to getting 2X single mag pouches. I imagine that the double mag pouches would be more stable, but I don't know whether or not single pouches would be unstable. I'd really prefer to go with 2X "Gen 2" single mag pouches but I wanted to get some input before taking the leap.
