Springfield Armory is expanding its Kuna lineup with a new suppressor-ready model built around a classic tri-lug muzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Kuna Tri-Lug 9mm keeps the compact dimensions, roller-delayed operating system and ambidextrous controls of the original Kuna. The big change sits at the end of its 6.6-inch barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of relying on an added muzzle device, Springfield machines three mounting lugs directly into the barrel. Shooters can attach a compatible suppressor using a simple push-and-twist motion. Removing it works just as quickly and requires no tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Classic Mount on a Modern PDW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tri-lug systems have been around for decades, and their appeal is pretty straightforward. They allow a compatible suppressor to lock into place quickly and securely without threading it onto the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springfield says the integrated setup makes it easy to move between suppressed and unsuppressed configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the package should feel familiar to anyone who has handled the standard Kuna. Its monolithic aluminum upper houses a roller-delayed operating system designed to reduce felt recoil. The compact platform also features fully ambidextrous controls and ships with two magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard models include two 30-round magazines. Springfield also offers \u201clow-capacity\u201d versions with 10-round magazines for customers living in restricted states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new Kuna Tri-Lug takes this modern and popular design and adds a proven muzzle interface mount, offering shooters the best of both the modern and the classic,\u201d said Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory\u2019s vice president of marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braced and Unbraced Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Springfield offers the Kuna Tri-Lug in two main configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base model has a section of Picatinny rail at the rear of the receiver. This allows the owner to choose a compatible rear-mounted accessory. Its suggested retail price is $1,179.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second version arrives with a side-folding Strike Industries FSA brace already installed. That model carries an MSRP of $1,330.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both configurations are also available through Springfield Armory\u2019s FIRSTLINE program. The program provides discounts to qualifying professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
