View Full Version : Is this a genuine Centurion Arms C4 BCG?

Bought this from an EE recently, advertised as a Centurion Arms C4 BCG. I saw pics before I bought it but they weren’t close up and detailed. After receiving it, the C4 on the carrier looks a little cheesy. After comparing it with the pic on Centurion’s website I’m really questioning it. There’s also a C4 on the bolt. Anybody have some insight? Is Monty still around?

The bottom pic looks like the Centurion BCG that I have.

Did you get it from a reputable source?

It's legit. There are also some marked with their current logo, which is what mine looks like from summer 2020.

It appears that Centurion has BCGs with three different markings. If I am reading your original post correctly, then the top pic is one pulled from Centurions website. The second is the one you received, which , after a Google image search, is similar to what Weapons Outfitter advertised on their site (they are long time vendor of Centurion products). The third is their Centurion spear logo (received direct from Centurion). My assumption is that it is genuine, as I do not see people trying to counterfeit a smaller less known brand. The voice carrying the most weight would be Stickman.

They’re very good about responding to emails so I’d bet you’d have a for sure answer before lunch tomorrow.

This. Even though there's no guarantee of a sale, Monty and Corrie have been very generous with time and expertise helping me plan builds that even if they ever proceed only MIGHT include some of their parts.

Supposedly Centurion BCG's are from Microbest.

I thought they were unmarked. They were like $109 in 2019

They haven't been unmarked in a very long time.

The BCG you have is legit, it is a few years old. However, since standards haven't changed, you are totally GTG.

They look like mine as well. I did have to replace the gas rings in all mine (2 or 3 IIRC) within a few hundred rounds. Other then that they've been GTG.

Are the Centurion bolts high pressure tested? The last thing I remember was they weren't doing it, but I've never seen/heard of a bad one, and they seem to keep the price down.
