To say you shouldn't be able ask about buying something unless you meet certain performance criteria is a pretty ridiculous statement. If I didn't like it and it sucked, who's problem is it? Mine not yours. I can't justify spending the money, but if I had bills falling out of my ass, I'd buy one. As long as the gun is reliable and is made well, no harm, no foul. It's their money, let them spend it how they want. So it is pretty, whats wrong with that? If you don't like pretty, don't buy it, but knocking someone who does is kind of a douche bag thing to do. Are they necessarily needed, probably not, but improvements none the less. If you actually look at the Cobalt Kinetics objectively, there are some actual "improvements" offered. He has a multiple-page thread on that exact topic and it’s a good read. It’s not a double standard, it’s a unique situation.Įdit- and eurodriver would be someone that would question why someone buys a KAC or anything else over a colt (or m4 equivalent). Are they great rifles? I don’t know, just explaining the perspective. We see unecessary(opinion) machine work, which is added cost with no real benefit. Of course they will have to prove to people why the extra price is justified. Their improvements have been more recent and they came out with a light, low price, decent hand guard, and great barrel profiles, all of which are quantifiable improvements for a marginal increase in price.Ĭobalt is new and the price is approaching KAC prices. BCMs claim to fame was making TDP rifles for less $ than colt (sale price), and earning a track record of great durability. KAC offers real improvements, as does Noveske. Yet nobody on this board questions someone buying from those other brands. and the question is still just as viable. Substitute Cobalt for KAC, BCM, LMT, Sionics, Larue, etc. No nitride or chrome lined barrel either? I don't think I have ever seen a gun description that says milspec magazine release but then not mention the receiver materials. doing anything like this using nitrocarburizing.’įor their LE/MIL lineup I was not very impressed.
This process is unique to Parker TruTec MMI and the Tennessee plant we are the only company in the U.S. In my opinion the oxide is also a deeper black with the LiFe process. Most firearms manufacturers are reporting a major increase on wear properties also. The hardness and depth are almost identical to the QPQ process. ‘The LiFe Process offers in comparison to our traditional nitride, creates a smoother (less porosity) surface finish, this imparts higher corrosion resistance and lubricity characteristics. It’s a new treatment done by Parker Trutec that is kind of the next evolution of nitride:
Receivers and hand guards are 7075 T651, barrels were QPQ’d 4150 cmv but aware now LiFe treated 4150 cmv. The angles between the high-symmetry reciprocal space directions of graphene and Ir(111) are indicated.Disclaimer: I work for Cobalt. Micro-LEED (start voltage, 40 V) patterns measured at the two locations marked by a dotted colored circle in (a), for a 30 ∘- (blue) and 0 ∘-rotated (red) graphene domain. Top right: schematics of the LEEM micrograph permitting identification of graphene-free (yellow) and graphene-covered (gray) regions having different orientations, highlighted in red and blue for 0 ∘- and 30 ∘-rotated graphene domains, respectively. The dark halo blurring the graphene edges is a joint effect of the deviation of the electron beam due to the electronic density contrast between graphene and the metal, and of the contrast aperture limiting the angular acceptance of the instrument. The meandering atomic step edges of the metal surface and the branched network of graphene wrinkles are both visible.
