Stickman id love to see it once you get it done. Do you know the specs of the rifle off hand. Their website doesn't state the specs of the rifle i.e barrel length etc.

It uses a 10.5" Cold Hammer Forged barrel with heavy chrome lining in a 1:7 twist.

Rails are by Daniel Defense, which is who makes the current MK18 RIS II rail. Available in two colors which include Black and Flat Dark Earth (MK18 RIS II P/N DD-8020) NSN 1005-01-548-1385.



Monty (owner of Centurion Arms) posts here under the user name of Grinch. When he gets off duty hopefully he will see this thread and be able to give you better or additional information. If there is anything I can answer, I'm happy to do so.

The 10.5" barrel requires a tax stamp correct?

Yes, you will need to get a $200 SBR tax stamp from the BATFE in order to make a rifle with a 10.5" barrel.

Is 14.5 the shortest you can go with out needing the tax stamp?

16" total barrel length.



You can get a 14.5" but you have to pin and weld a muzzle device on there making it a permanent part of the barrel to bring the length up to 16". A standard A2 flash hider is not long enough for a 14.5" barrel.

Yes all NFA rules apply for this upper you would be required to have the lower registered with ATF as an SBR or put it on a lower that is registered as a pistol.
