Any plans for an extended MLOK rail/handguard for the Kuna?  

Something that extends around 3 inches from the end of the current receiver and allows for tucking a suppressor would be sweet.

Currently the only extended handguard available is polymer.  If I'm spending close to $200 I'd prefer to have an aluminum handguard but that doesn't exist.  Yet.

I am not making any promises, but we do have a Kuna and we do like them as a gun.

Sweet.  Well, I hope you do make one.  I'm sure I'm not one look for an aluminum extension!

I'd for sure love a SD style Kuna rail actually made from aluminum, instead of the current polymer offering.

Thanks for the feed back and compliment. These are happening but we need patience as we are in the tooling phase of the project. I would say we are about 12 weeks out to product launch .  

Thank you

Awesome!

Do you happen to know what the inner diameter is for suppressor clearance?  I'm curious to know how large of a suppressor will fit.

We designed the hand guard to work with a 1.60 inch diameter suppressor. This allows all the Mlok  slots to be effective . The hand guard has a super easy install and gives the top rail portion a continuous look.  

Thanks

Any updates or teasers?  

We're getting close to 12 weeks from that comment.  How's the ETA looking?  Still on track?

Also, will it be solid enough to mount an IR laser to the top rail and hold zero or is it more suited to grips and lights?

I'd be on board for getting one. I do need to get me a pistol caliber can but also needed to be able to handle 450 Bushmaster. Going to have to start doing a little research on suppressors here soon.

I have some good news for you all.
Material is on the floor and parts are being machined. We are probably somewhere around 6-8 weeks from having them ready to ship, but we think you all will really like these.
They have an I.D. of 1.850’’ and all of the M-LOK slots are usable.
The handguard extends 4.5 past the front of the gun and is a total of eight inches in length.
Retail will be less than $200.00

Here is a look at them. We hope you like them as much as we do.

Yes 1.6 is about as large as you can go and be able to fit MLOK nuts between the hand guard and can and work.

The installation is very simple . It utilizes the Kunas  M Lok slots to attach the Handguard to the gun. Simple strong and effective.
thanks
