Kuna Malfunction

[Waveslayer]

Got mine back, only 30 round down it so far... time will tell.

Ok they got mine on Tuesday morning. I have over 600 rounds to put through it the day I get it back. Was a little upset that it went down in the first 400 cause I had high hopes for it. Hope it comes back ready to work!

Almost scared to shoot mine again....Almost

I got 6 mags loaded up for Saturday’s outdoor session…and I plan on hammering it. I’m north of 800 rounds through mine. Other than cracked mags which SA replaced for me… zero issues. And even the cracked mags ran without issue.
Sorry you guys are having this kinda luck. My Kuna is my favorite pistol to shoot with the can on it.
So far, Federal Syntech has been the most quiet, but not by much. Looking to get outdoors to see how quiet it really is with different ammo.

 

[Bjdglock]

I can’t wait! It is definitely the most enjoyable firearm to shoot hope it’s runs great once it comes back so I can buy another can

 

[ezombine]

Still at SA.

 

[Bjdglock]

Same no information from them on the status of mine but I got a lot of ammo waiting on its return. Might buy another 1000 since prices are staying low

Okay guys, little update. After about 45 rounds in my kuna after the extractor being replaced. I am now shipping it back off to Springfield to get another extractor. I found the extractor all over the ground couldn't find the spring. I was so pissed I left in such a hurry I left all the parts sitting on the bench. WTF is going on

 

[Bjdglock]

Wow! I hope they figure this out

 

[Waveslayer]

Wow! I hope they figure this out

The customer service rep says I will put a note in there that is the second time it's happened. I smartly remarked well I hope it's the last what are you guys going to do about it

Sounds like they need to put you a new bolt and everything instead of just the extractor. no way that pin should have backed out in 45 rounds. kinda sounds like the hole is to big for the pin. probably do it again if they don't exchange the bolt.

Thought about taking my one good mag and trading it in on something. i just hate to lose my butt on a deal.

 

[Bjdglock]

I’m nervous to shoot mine again now. I got it back but have not had time to shoot it. I took the bolt out of the gun and inspected it, did not look like anything was out of spec or lose

Going on two weeks now waiting for it to return from SA, haven’t heard anything. They must have thousands of these with the same issue. Not a good look for SA. If it does it again (3rd time), I will definitely explore my rights as a consumer to have it bought back. I understand that it is a firearm and returning one is unheard of. Maybe it’s time, they need to be accountable for their poor quality. Either way, I wouldn’t recommend to anyone buy a SA product. We all spend our hard earned money on guns & ammo, we should expect better quality than this. It’s just a matter of time before this happens to someone and they are injured or worse. This is a safety concern. Maybe SA should issue a recall.

I put a video of mine up on YouTube! When I shoot it this weekend I’ll put up another video so I hope it does not have any issues

That’s what I was thinking as well. I took my bolt out a couple weeks back and didn’t see where these parts were coming from. But my thought is that the bolt may be out of spec. I shoot mine several times a week, not many rounds, but pretty consistent. I haven’t had any problems with either the bolt or the mags.

Not trying to be a jerk. I’m asking a dead serious question.

How, where, what methods did you use to believe they have thousands with the same issue?

 

[Bjdglock]

I hope mine runs good since they replaced the extractor. I’m hoping it was a bad batch with a defect and metal and that it’s all straightened out now.

I haven’t seen the extractor issue anywhere on the web other than the 2 or 3 incidents here. I’ve heard a couple magazine reports, but nothing on the extractor.
