Cobalt Kinetics Releases BLACK Model At Only $1195 For The Holiday Season

Cobalt Kinetics Releases BLACK Model At Only $1195 For The Holiday Season

November 19, 2018 by The Loadout Room Leave a Comment

Washington Utah, November 19, 2018

Just in time for the holiday season, Cobalt Kinetics has released its lowest priced rifle ever. The company dug deep to hit their new bargain-priced benchmark without compromising the craftsmanship, fit and quality for which they have become known. This newest installment is simply called the BLACK. And although it’s priced to move, its quality and features exceed similarly priced offerings.

The Stainless-steel barrel is crafted by Cobalt Kinetics to their own high standards. The unique design keeps more steel around the breech and in the back half of the barrel while the muzzle end remains light; this configuration keeps the overall weight within standards (30 ounces) while enhancing the weapon’s handling characteristics. Also, the increased heat-sink capacity of the heavy breech section reduces zero shift during prolonged shooting sessions. One positive side-effect of this design is reduced harmonic effect; which results in better accuracy. And like all Cobalt Kinetics rifles, this barrel comes with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
The BLACK’s trigger is the same adjustable single-stage unit found on most of the Cobalt Kinetics product line. Each trigger is polished and tuned at installation for a light and crisp break.

The Nickel-boron coated M-16 profile Bolt group, provided by American Built Arms, is without equal. The metals used in its construction and dimensional accuracy exceed mil-spec standards.

The furniture offered includes a Hogue over-molded grip and collapsible carbine stock. The 15” Odinworks handguard mates to the upper receiver to create 21 inches of picatinny rail across the top while 24 M-lok pockets allow for the addition of weapon peripherals and accessories.

After a bit of study and comparison to other Cobalt rifles, all that seems to be missing on this rifle is the Dual Drop mechanism. In order to keep the rifle economical and universal Cobalt chose to offer the BLACK with a conventional slick-side upper. The receivers are machined from 7075 billet aluminum and fit together perfectly. The controls are all mil-spec or otherwise single-sided, as found on some of the “Stage 1” Cobalt rifles. The fixed gas block is of the low-profile variety and the muzzle device is the classic A2 flash-hider. The receivers are finished inside and out with Cerakote while the handguard and receiver extension are black anodized.

The BLACK model can be had in any color the consumer wants- as long as that color is black.

The BLACK retails for $1595, but it is on sale for the holidays for $1195.

Skylar Stewart, Vice President adds: “We’ve always been pressured by our dealers and end users to make something really competitive on price. The BLACK was initially hard to pencil out at this price point but we made it work. We wanted this rifle to still reflect Cobalt quality and performance, so it comes with the essential upgrades included.  It has our rock-solid billet receivers and premium trigger, BCG and barrel. We’re confident that this rifle will perform better than any other AR-15 in this price point.”

About Cobalt Kinetics

Cobalt Kinetics designs and builds firearms with bold aesthetics, cutting-edge technical innovation, state-of-the-art engineering and meticulous precision.

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 “black rifle” 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’s 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.
