[NRAAM 2024] Kinetic Research Group’s NEW BXW Forend
Eugene L. 05.20.24
Kinetic Research Group, also known as KRG, has brought out a newly upgraded forend for the very popular Gen 2 Bravo Chassis and Gen 5 X-Ray Chassis to NRAAM 2024. The new BXW forend is KRG’s answer to complaints consumers have had with the previous iteration of forend on their popular Bravo Chassis and X-Ray chassis. Shooters no longer need to remove the forend from the Bravo or X-Ray to install the backer nuts needed when mounting accessories to the forend. The BXW forend now comes with embedded fastening points instead on the 3, 6, and 9 O’Clock positions for easy attachment of Arca Rails and Picatinny Rails.

Additionally, the magazine well contour has been changed. The barrier stop there has been made taller for more positive contact with the barrier you are resting on, as well as additional protection for your pricey magazines. The BXW forend keeps the M-Lok slots at the muzzle end, but now also comes with threaded mounting points on the sides of the forend above the mag well. These allow shooters to easily mount the KRG 2-Round Quiver or a 5-slot Pic Rail segment to attach any other accessory onto it. The KRG BXW Forend is compatible with all KRG Bravo, X-Ray, and Whiskey-3 rifle chassis. It is not compatible with any of their monobody chassis such as the Echo, Savage, Bravo, and 10/22 Bravo. It also is not compatible with TRG 22/42, and M995 Inlet chassis.
