KDG Opens Pre-Order Notification for New Kinect™ Arca Rail Ahead of September Launch

KDG is giving shooters an early opportunity to get in line for one of its most anticipated new products of 2026. The new Kinect™ Arca Rail is now live on the KDG website, where consumers can sign up for pre-order notification ahead of its September launch.

First announced earlier this year, the Kinect Arca Rail expands KDG's popular Kinect product family by allowing shooters to quickly add 6 inches of Arca rail to virtually any rifle platform equipped with M-LOK® slots on the bottom of the handguard or chassis.

Using KDG's proven Kinect mounting technology, the new Arca Rail attaches directly to M-LOK without the traditional installation process associated with conventional rail sections. The result is a fast, versatile solution for shooters who want the benefits of an Arca interface without permanently dedicating their rifle to a fixed Arca rail.

"The response since we first announced the Kinect Arca Rail has been exactly what we hoped to see," said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing for KDG. "Shooters understand immediately what this product brings to the table. If you already have M-LOK on your rifle, Kinect gives you a fast and simple way to add an Arca interface when you need it. With the product now live on our website, consumers can sign up to be notified and be ready when it officially launches in September."

M-LOK to Arca — The Kinect Way

The Kinect Arca Rail was developed for precision rifle shooters, hunters, competitors, and recreational shooters who increasingly rely on Arca-compatible tripods, bipods, shooting supports, and accessories.

Rather than requiring users to permanently install a dedicated Arca rail, Kinect technology provides the flexibility to add or remove the rail as needed.

Kinect Arca Rail features include:

The Kinect™ Advantage

KDG's Kinect Series was developed around a simple concept: firearm accessories should not require unnecessary tools, hardware, or installation time.

Kinect's patented mounting technology utilizes a spring-loaded deployment system that allows compatible accessories to securely engage M-LOK mounting slots without traditional T-nuts or installation tools. The push-button design gives shooters the ability to quickly install, remove, or reposition accessories as their rifle setup or shooting environment changes.

That technology has allowed KDG to continue expanding Kinect beyond traditional accessory mounting applications and into specialized solutions for today's shooters.

The new Kinect Arca Rail represents the latest evolution of that platform, combining the widespread adoption of M-LOK with the growing use of Arca-compatible support systems across precision shooting, competition, and hunting applications.

Consumer Launch Coming in September

The Kinect Arca Rail is now listed on the KDG website, where consumers can sign up to receive a notification when the product becomes available.

Consumer ordering is scheduled to officially begin in September 2026.

Dealer and distributor pre-orders remain open, and KDG encourages stocking dealers and distribution partners to contact KDG or their Evans Group representative for ordering information ahead of the consumer launch.

The Kinect Arca Rail will be offered in black only at launch.
