Today, Kinetic Development Group (kineticdg.com) was launched simultaneously with this exclusive Soldier Systems Daily announcement. KDG was founded by some of the key executive sales and development team members that left LWRC International in the spring of 2014. Dave Loeser, Darren Mellors and AJ Lafferty were determined to build a company by supplanting the type of culture that was responsible for so much of their collective success. They wanted to preserve the momentum or “Kinetic” energy they had as a team with the goal of bringing the highest quality, most innovative firearms accessories and solutions to the top end of the market.

KDG’s goals are focused on answers to problems with small arms, not answers to the questions not asked. “We are purposely avoiding the overcrowded AR market as we believe we, our former company, and hundreds of other AR manufacturers have evolved that platform about as far as it can go,” said Darren Mellors, Managing Member of KDG. “The focus will start on underserved products like the FN SCAR and HK 416/MR series. We have started to improve these two European weapons families to meet the needs of the American shooters, Warfighters and Law Enforcement Officers. Identifying problems and engineering the best solutions are very intuitive to us. I am not only a managing member of KDG….I am also a customer! That is the standard by which we judge our products and service. Do I need this, and do I want one? ”

The first weapon they have dedicated to improving was the SCAR L/H by FNH. Their SCAR products are called MREX Solutions (Modular Receiver Extension). A sneak peak of the MREX with MLOK is pictured.

KDG has a formula; often manufacturers release products months if not years before the product is ready for sale. KDG commits to release products when they are tested and ready for market, period. “The end user, dealers, and small businesses were responsible for the largest most explosive advancement in small arms design, accessories and standardization in history,” said Mellors. “That is why we are partnering with the best commercial dealers whom have driven that evolution.” AJ Lafferty added, “….part of my job is to identify the best dealers in the country that share our values and culture, and sell complimentary quality products and services. We want them to share in our success.”

“Our History of success developing products in the US commercial market, has proven relevant overseas, and we plan to continue to develop an international distributor network. I believe the market will be impressed with what they will see coming from Kinetic down the road.” said David Loeser, Managing partner.
