    Cobalt Kinetics

    One of the few items at Shot this year that stood out to me besides Sig's wankering of everything, is a product from Cobalt Kinetics. www.cobaltarms.com

    When I first walked by the booth I saw some nicely machined rifles and some booth babes, but as I looked closer I saw they had double forward assists. (the rifles you pervs!) My first thought is Why the hell would anyone need that?

    Well after talking to the guy he explained how its not a forward assist at all, its a bolt release. As weird as it seems it actually worked pretty well and was easy to hit from either side as the rifle is designed to be completely ambi. Its an interesting concept and they may be onto something. I thought it would interfere with charging the rifle but it wasn't bad, I think a AXTS/Rainier Raptor would be better than the CH they chose. I'm sure many may think it's a gimmick which it very well could be, but its nice to see guys thinking outside the box a bit.

    TFB has a decent write up on it as well.

    That looks really cool. Hopefully the pricing is decent, I know a few lefties who will be interested in it. Heck, I'm interested in it, and that lower looks pretty sharp too.

    "I think a AXTS/Rainier Raptor would be better than the CH they chose"

    Do you know what CH that is?

    I think it's lwrc's.

    The reason I say that is those latches are a little too small so when you charge the rifle the dual drop system can interfere with your hand. The Raptor has larger latches so I feel it'd be a better choice.

    It is. They say because of their unique lower shape the KAC and others that pivot on the lower aren't compatible. Which sucks because I love the KAC.
