Cobalt Kinetics has added another pair of great products to their growing selection of AR-15 Accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cobalt Kinetics handguard is now available as a universal accessory for the AR-15. This exciting product release has been long-awaited by the DIY AR-15 crowd. 2 handguard models are available, and named for the Cobalt Rifle with which they\u2019re included. The EDGE (characterized by the aggressive points at the muzzle end).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Notice the aggressive points at the muzzle end.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

and the TEAM – tailored for practical competition. It lacks the pointed ends found on the EDGE handguard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re machined from an 11-pound block of solid 7075 rather than an extrusion which can warp or stress relieve during machining. The result of this extra effort is a perfectly straight finished part- this keeps iron sights centered over the barrel. Features include two picatinny rail sections at the muzzle, top and bottom for back-up iron sights and bipods or weapon lights. M-lok pockets are provided on the entire length at 3, 6, and 9 o\u2019clock for unlimited mounting options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

QD sling cups are also present at each end, and on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where the handguard mates up with the receiver, there\u2019s an extra 1.5\u201d of picatinny rail to allow more mounting options for the main optic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These handguards attach to an AR-15 upper by way of a clever 2-piece barrel nut and sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The barrel nut has 2 offset rings of 12 threaded holes. The sleeve has 2 rings of 8 countersunk holes for a total of 16. Through some thoughtful engineering, this combination allows for the nut and sleeve to be screwed together at any of 48 locations using 3 screws. The result is a nut that provides perfect alignment and gap-free mounting on any upper receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A proprietary nut driver is provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tools required include a proper receiver-holding fixture, \u00bd\u201d drive torque wrench, 3\/32\u201d and 2.5mm allen keys. An in\/lb. torque driver is recommended for the small screws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skylar Stewart, VP at Cobalt commented, \u201cThe handguard has by far been the most requested item since our EDGE rifle hit the market in 2015. It took some clever engineering from our team to develop the barrel nut assembly that will work well with all of the different brands of upper receivers without leaving timing or gap issues. A gap between the upper receiver and the handguard is not acceptable to us. The original 16\u201d handguards are in stock and ready to ship. We\u2019ve also got some shorter versions in the works. Look for those to be available toward the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the TEAM and EDGE handguards retail for $285 and can be found on Cobalt\u2019s website at https:\/\/www.cobaltkinetics.com\/accessories\/hand-guards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Cobalt Kinetics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cobalt Kinetics designs and builds firearms with bold aesthetics, cutting-edge technical innovation, state-of-the-art engineering and meticulous precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobalt Kinetics was founded out of dissatisfaction with the unending rows of the same black rifle on every gun shop wall across the country. The real issue with the \u201cblack rifle\u201d is that there is little differentiation in the market and very little true innovation. Cobalt Kinetics broke from tradition and re-imagined firearm design and intent. Form and function could be enhanced by applying a careful balance of science, engineering, and art to the gun. Functions unique to Cobalt\u2019s rifles such as the Dual Drop and Cobalt Advantage Reloading System demonstrate this unique new approach. At Cobalt Kinetics, flaws in the original AR-15 design have been corrected and advancements have been implemented while maintaining ultimate precision, absolute durability and bold aesthetics. Cobalt is driven to create firearms that are more effective, more reliable and more rewarding to the owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
