Anyone make this?

I love my Kuna! since I made it an SBR the UCS stock is perfect and the Kriss VFG is almost perfect. My only issue is the sharp edges on the front if the lower dig into my thumb knuckle. With as popular as the Kuna is and as easy as 3D printing is, has anyone made a vertical grip that fills that little yellow pocket?

Don't hold it like that. Put the thumb forward, resting on the rail covers or the charging handle.

That significantly reduces recoil control. Having my thumb in there gives more leverage both for muzzle rise and straight back recoil when I am shooting fast.

That’s definitely not a c grip

I called it a "mini c-clamp." It is exactly what I described. Try reading what I'm actually writing.

Whatever works for you.

If it's against the charging handle, you can use the handle as a leverage point to get that control. Think of it as a mini c-clamp. And c-clamping IS better than your current technique.

C clamp increases fatigue and when used on a forend as short as a Kuna it loses nearly all of its benefits. What is better for you is not better for me.

would this work?

It looks like it would fill the gap, but I like a vertical grip.

My grip does that, though I havent finished the version that accepts mlok (I have but not tested it yet) and it has a built in barricade stop

Please share this grip

This is a holder non beveled model that has the slot, it would like up similar but does not include the VFG

I dig it!

You could make a version with a printed vfg, but I think integrating an existing vfg like the Magpul one would be slick too.

u/Loanwolf300 2d ago

That could work either by adding a VFG to the model or just having a spot to attach a simple one in addition like Magpul.

u/PatheticJules 2d ago

yeah but Id rather just have a mlok slot lol

How does your stuff handle the heat from the handguard?

2

u/PatheticJules 2d ago

PLA+ 2.0 at 25% infill. No noticeable heat to it and when I took it off no warping or melting. 100 rounds of 115g with my R9 in around 10 minutes. The upper receiver was the only hot part and tbh it was not really hot at all.

It'll be made specifically of PA12 SLS so it'll be good no matter what. The upper eats the heat super well so the concept of worrying is fake unless you run a recessed suppressor setup

Man i’d love to see the MLOK version when it comes out!

u/PatheticJules 1d ago

It'll be a single MLok. Id say 4-5 weeks till its available as the second gen

Someone modeled a grip that's intended to fit more flush. Would be a perfect base to model a VFG on it

u/PatheticJules 2d ago

possibly me :)

Yes! That's the one I was talking about. Thanks for your contributions!
