I've only got about 200 rounds through mine but absolutely love it. The wife loves it. Can't wait to see what the aftermarket does for it. I'll be form 1ing mine shortly |

re: chonk stock to replicate factory SMG look. Magpul is launching a new 1913 stock that might suit the aesthetics: https://soldiersystems.net/2025/04/27/nraam-25-magpul-ucs/

Originally Posted By Slimjim: You know why these are going to outsell the stribog as well?

It’s likely that many more people have heard of the Stribog than know the name of the company who makes it. |

I went with this setup for now. Adapter from Haga Defense and stock from Magpul. I bought the stock from Brownells as they charged $70 whereas Haga is asking $110. Attached File |
|
I also picked up one of the A3 stocks (bought from Haga) as an alternative thin, lightweight option. I have several pic rail stock guns, so both will find a home. Attached File |

Does it cover the ejection port, or does it have a downward cant when folded? Went with the Lage stock from A3 on mine, although I might try the new Magpul stock when it comes out. |

It does fold to the right; I should have the adapter today and I can test it with the Zhukov stock from my Scorpion. I am interested in the new Magpul stock as well; pretty cool that the hinge is reversible. |

Originally Posted By craig24680: Wouldn't be an issue if they used scorpion mags Why would they use a competitor’s mags and be dependent on a foreign supply chain? Both the Kuna and Stribog were designed as military weapons first, and military customers don’t seem to be bothered by proprietary mags. Yes, a number of guns accept STANG 5.56 mags, but that’s because it’s a NATO standard. There is no similar official standard for SMG mags that’s accepted by a number of countries. Also, the CZ Scorpion mags themselves aren’t the greatest, especially the first gen translucent mags. The “good” Scorpion mags are the PSA AK-V mags. Finally, maybe Croatia and the Czech Republic don’t get along and HS Produkt would rather die than use a CZ mag. |

Then there are those that still don't know about the anti gun history of Springfield armory a few years ago. |

Damn near all the big names were on there, including most all the darlings of Arf like Geissele, Larue, etc. |

At $25 a pop, you can buy 14 Kuna mags instead, which so far seem to be reliable. |

This was my thought as well. And to my eye, the Kuna mags seem a bit sturdier. You’d REALLY have to love Scorp mags for that. I guess another possibility is you often go out with BOTH Kuna and Scorpion and want to bring only 1 type of magazine? Seems a rare use case but time will tell. I could see that scorp lower for Stribog because for years they had mag reliability issues. But the Kuna doesn’t seem to have any mag issues to “solve”. Sturdy, reliable and cheap. Perhaps they’ll start making Kuna lowers for the Stribog

If so, this is a lot of ergonomic steps backwards for the sake of using a different magazine. ETA - Got around to filing my F1 finally. Mostly just in anticipation of the factory folder stock someday. The thing is so handy with the brace and a mag well grip that it may be the ONLY SBR project gun I’ve done where the base gun was perfectly usable without any compromises beforehand. |

Here is a run down on stock options I have tried. Sig Minimalist Plus. https://www.sigsauer.com/mcx-mpx-minimalist-plus-locking-folding-stock-minimalist-black.html (Available cheaper elsewhere, like Europtic). Attached File Attached File Decent fit, felt a little short. A3 Triangle Stock. https://hagadefense.com/triangle-stock/ Attached File Attached File Good fit, good length. Lightweight and easy to operate. Hole near the hinge is for the sling QD which I have not installed yet. |

Haga Defense Adapter with Magpul Zhukov stock. https://hagadefense.com/zhukov-stock-with-1913-adapter/ Attached File Attached File Good fit, and length is adjustable. Locks up tight and is solid. It is the thickest option. When folded, it covers the ejection port. While I like the triangle stock, the Z stock feels more solid and balanced. I need to shoot with the various options. |

I'm leaning towards the triangle stock mostly for weight savings but I'm having a hard time deciding. |

Everyone I talked to got some in initially and sold them out in a matter of days. Some got 3, some 2, one got 15 and sold them out in the first week. For 2 weeks, I called like 5 places every other day or so and no one had gotten any new ones in. Finally, last Tuesday, I went and pre-ordered one. I was 3rd on the list there, but still haven't heard from them. They told me when I was there, since the initial sell out, they've gotten 3 and 2 in, but were sold to pre-orders. Hopefully they will get some in soon and I can pick one up. |

They really had a perfect storm on their hands with it. It's a renaissance of sorts in the PCC world right now, so interest levels are high. It uses something other than direct blowback, which is intriguing for many. Springfield is a name many consumers have heard before, even if they don't know the relationship with HS Produkt. While it doesn't use a magazine already piled up in the basement, the OEM magazine was very fairly priced at $25. Finally, the gun itself could be had under $900-1000 if you opted for the stockless version. That's a hugely attractive spot to land in. Lots of ingredients for success at the start. The Kuna itself ended up being a quality gun, even with its quirks. It helped it was made for a mil/LE application overseas (for a non-Euro customer especially, so the price can't be set too high) so a lot of the product development and testing was performed under those auspices with an eye towards commercial sales afterwards. Finally, a very well-executed marketing campaign coupled with the launch. This wasn't a bullshit Magpul announce it and wait 6-12 months thing, it got teased at IWA, then basically launched full-steam on the US market a month or two later with good initial availability and glowing reviews. There's a lot to be said for how Springfield approached it and it was refreshing. It seems like all the launch gun and mag supply have dried up but I'm sure HS Produkt is making them as fast as they can. I've gotten spanked for memes in the tech forums, but it's basically Frito from Idiocracy saying "I like money" as they build the next batches. They may have underestimated how successful it was going to be. I am curious to see if the next wave includes the .40 version since we have so many product numbers for that, a split of both, or something else. HSP is also unlikely to make any changes given previous examples with the VHS-2 only getting a minor ergonomic tweak to the safety and the Echelon essentially being unchanged since launch. Maybe new polymer colors 6 months from now? |
