Did a search, seems its been under the radar.
But it is really happening.
Soon we will have another reason to spend funds we really cant afford to.

Noticed something while routine window-shopping.
Lower

So before getting too excited went ahead n contacted them, lo n behold...there's hope!
Here's what Mrs LeClair shared with me:
"I think that the last of the current production run is just finishing up on the machines...then off to finishing. I think if all goes well, we should see them next month."

Centurion will be releasing KAC pattern 7.62/308 receivers.
Soon.

Life is Grand!

Help me out-while a very informative post, dont see any mention of AR10 platform receivers, to be released soon.
Did i miss something?
Like i said, i did a search before posting.

Followed the above links to what is coming. Shows out of stock, so you can't pre-order

It was mentioned, and I posted a pic of my receivers. I picked mine up in October last year, along with a 15” CMR. I’m not sure when, but they may do complete 7.62 rifles at some point or at least offer a barrel as well. The barrel project may have been put on hold due to the 5.56 rifles coming. For now, I am going to go with a Criterion barrel and just need to get a BCG to finish.

My mind is set on an LMT BCG, which is what Centurion said they will be using if/when they do barrels or complete rifles.

I guess Centurion is currently OOS (I haven’t checked), but they have done receivers recently so you can expect them to have more. I think the set that I received is really nice. The Centurion receivers both mated with my LMT receivers very well.

I've been interested since they posted the info originally but I want at least one of their barrels to go with it. I'm good buying the lmt bcg for it.

I do hope that if/when they do complete weapons or add the extra parts they come up with a gas block with settings for suppressed and unsuppressed.

I’m interested as well as I’m in the market for a 308. Maybe Stick could work his magic for a 5.56 and 7.62 lower matching serial number group buy?

Nice to see them in the wild already, thanks!

Yep, ‘now if they had a barrel/bcg to go w that-how awesome...’ was my first though too.

Going by what Mrs Leclair enailed, the eta would place it March. Early/mid.
That should give a bit of time to liberate some coinage.

Hi guys! Hope this works...finally set up an account and trying to get on here when I have a few minutes!

Polydeuces is correct...HOPING to have this batch of 7.62 billet receivers done in March for you. :) As I told him...I HATE giving ETAs, because when you do, you inevitably encounter delays somewhere. But we are working on them and will make them available as soon as they are ready to ship.

Also...just a little teaser...Monty is working on getting some 7.62 barrels done to his specifications. It's a long, difficult process...but he wants them done right. ;) So...definitely no ETA on those right now. But I'll try to keep you updated for those that are interested!

No BCGs in the works yet. Not much beats the LMTs...but they are obviously $$$ ;) We will keep looking into the possibility of our own though.

Any chance of the barrels having like a 2 possition gas block for suppressed an unsuppressed?

For the bcg it would be nice to have a cheaper option but yea having it work with the lmt one is a good option.

Outstanding! Welcome aboard, Mrs. LeClair! :)

I'm really looking forward to buying one of your 308's as well, it should make an excellent deer and hog rifle down here in Texas.

This question is mainly addressed to Corrie or Monty, however those who have an answer may chime in: Are these upper receivers going to be compatible with Knight's 308 handguards?

I've been wanting to do a .308/6.5 build, especially since LMT sells stripped MARS lowers, and I've been looking for a stripped upper to match. These look perfect! And the price doesn't seem out of line!

I am pretty sure he told me that they are going to be KAC compatible.

I’m super excited for the next batch release — do you know when the ETA is? I’m looking to buy the C11 upper and was wondering if it can match my Stag-10 lower. I know that a Larue/LMT uppers fit with some minor sanding of the pin holes. Also, would general DPMS compatible parts (like V Seven Hyperlight Handguard and BSF 308 barrels fit)? It’s my first time customizing my AR10 and don’t want to screw up with all the compatibility issues. Thanks!

It fits my Mega Arms fine, I have no idea about a Stag, sorry.

Why, with the gun industry soooooo slow is it impossible to find good AR10s?

Larue is 16-24 weeks. Centurion is OOS. KAC is 5,000 years. Noveske is 10,000 years.

Maybe I shouldn’t complain before these guys realize the market demand and increase prices even more.

I ordered a Larue PredatOBR UU/Lower in 6.5CM and I’m about to cancel it. I can’t wait 6 months for a gun. I might be an ex-pat in Canada by then!

See....I gots two SR25s and an HK. I don’t understand these white people problems like that.

And ironically you can own an SR-25 in Canada.
If they come out with a 6.5 upper I might get one. I don’t know.

6 months isn’t that bad. You’ll be the talk of the nursing home

Ackchuwally, they are out of stock because they are sold out. The second run is delayed due to a supplier issue and some changes that they have made to them.

For those that have them, are they marked C11 or MK11?

The marked MK11 was the context of my reply. That has the improved, more “modern” bolt catch than the C11 and, I believe, is their regular run going forward. Thanks for clarifying. Have had one on order since November.
