The Cobalt Kinetics CK-Pro Lite delivers exceptional performance in a compact 7.5-inch barrel configuration, featuring premium Cerakote Green finish for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. This precision-engineered upper assembly combines lightweight construction with reliable cycling for demanding applications.
What Makes This Different
The CK-Pro Lite incorporates Cobalt Kinetics' proprietary gas system optimization, ensuring consistent cycling even with the shorter 7.5-inch barrel length. Unlike standard short-barrel uppers that often experience over-gassing issues, this system maintains proper pressure balance for reliable extraction and ejection. The lightweight profile reduces overall weapon weight by approximately 0.8 pounds compared to standard government profile barrels while maintaining structural integrity under rapid fire conditions.
Key Features
- 7.5-inch cold hammer forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate for stabilizing heavy projectiles
- Premium Cerakote Green finish rated for 2,400+ hours salt spray resistance
- Low-profile gas block with integrated Picatinny rail section
- Mil-spec upper receiver machined from 7075-T6 aluminum forgings
- M-LOK compatible handguard with full-length top rail
- Compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers and bolt carrier groups
- Includes A2 flash hider with 1/2x28 threading for suppressor compatibility
This configuration excels in close-quarters scenarios where maneuverability takes priority over long-range accuracy. The optimized gas system maintains reliable function with both supersonic and subsonic ammunition when suppressed. Testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-3 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making it suitable for tactical applications within 200 yards. The Cerakote finish withstands environmental extremes from -40°F to 180°F without degradation.
