Centurion Arms Hammer forged Light weight Barrel
-
WOW,
very nice, I am waiting on a CMMG, and am excited for a BCM, and this is just great! Glad to see more LW barrels on the market, do we have a price or place to buy these? I have a feeling that it is easier to get a Centurion from retailers than direct, or atleast it is damn hard to get a MK12 from them.
-
Thing should be alot easier soon we are finally getting a new website and we are cathcing up on the MK12's should have them all out soon and the next batch after that hope to keep some on the shelves.

-
when should these be available for sale?
-
Wow, this would make a very interesting "recce-ish" build. :)
Thanks for the heads-up, SMGLee, I have been looking forward to doing a lightweight middy upper.
Thanks for the additional info, Monty, and stay safe!
-
Any chance of a LW 20-in.?
-
Do you guys do MK18 barrels? Or 10.5" ?

.75" gas block/FSB journal?
-
Any 14.5 inch barrels in the works ? I'd like to keep it as short as possible without all the NFA paper work. Carbine length hopefully.
-
I have them in stock right now for sale and should be stocked up for awhile.
it uses .750 gas blocks or FSP.
I'm not sure if I will ever do a 14.5in only time will tell.
I chose to do a 12.5in over the 10.5in since it has significant advantages but once again I would not rule it out.
If I do a 20in it will probably be a mid weight or a little heavier and will be set up as a precision barrel.
Thanks
-
That is a very slick looking barrel profile. I definately like it.

+1
I want!

Monty,
Do you know if you can attach a KAC QDSS NT4 on a 12.5" upper that is using either a DD M4A1 RIS ll or a DD AR15 Lite Rail 12.0? I also wanted to know if you can either do a shaved FSB or a pinned gas block on the 12.5" barrel.
Thanks,
Marco

Finally the barrel length I want for my first SBR "12.5"
-
Barrels are actually available now I have plenty in stock.
We hope to have a new website working soon.
Marco- I have my own low profile gas block we pin on. and I'm not sure on the rest of it I've not built one with those features yet.
If we get any 14.5 in they will still probably be a mid-length gas system.
Thanks
Monty
-
Monte - the new website looks great!! I think I am going to have to spend some money with you.:D
-
DJK,
Thanks we hope this makes it alot easier for folks to get info about our stuff and easier to purchase from us if they wish.
Thanks
Monty

I was just looking at your barrels on your new website; I want a 16" one, but would like a bit more info. Now you have a Midweight and a Lightweight barrel; are these new production barrels different from the ones you've done in the past? I was looking at one on Rainier's website, and it looks different than the ones on yours....the one on Rainier's looks like a Government profile, but without the M203 notch: it has a fat diameter in front of the gas block, and skinny under the handguards (like the ones in SMGLee's pics at the top of this page), while the ones on your website look different in terms of profile; could you please give us the outside diameter under the handguards, and in front of the gas block, for each type?. This will help me decide which to get; thank you for your time!

How firm is this? Besides a 16" I also need a 14.5", and I was planning on getting two of the 16s and having my gunsmith chop one down to 14.5, but I'd much rather have a 14.5 direct from you.
Thanks!
-
Maybe I missed it. Weight on 16" middy lightweight?
-
Wes- The ones on my website are of the mid-weight I hope to have pics up soon of the light weight. The pics in this post are of the light weight barrels. If we do the 14.5in it will be a cut down version of our 16in light weight so it will be a mid length gas system. If you want a smith to cut it down that will work to I know there is a debate weather chrome will flak or not but after talking with a couple reputable barrel hard chrome shops they assure me this is not an issue with the hard chrome they use for barrels.
Light weight
12.5in--1lbs 5oz
16in----1lbs 9.9oz
Mid wt
16in---1lbs 15oz
The light weights are gov profile under the hand guard and step down to .680 in front of the gas block. The mid weight is .750 under the hand guard and .740 in front of the gas block.
Thanks
Monty
-
Thanks for the info, Monty! I will definitly be ordering a 16" barrel.
As for the 14.5s....are you reasonably sure you will produce these? Any idea of a time frame?
-
I am also interested in a lightweight, shortest carbine I can get without having to mess with NFA stuff. But since getting a middy 16" I can't go back to a carbine gas system unit. Monty, if you make a 14.5" LW with the same specs as the 16" LW you listed above, I will buy two. I don't much care what flash suppressor gets permanently attached.
-
new website looks great !
-
I registered as member #8 on the Centurion discussion forum....plank owner!
-
Wes- Yes we have so many 16in barrels we will cut some of them down in batches to 14.5in now that I'm sure cutting a chrome barrel is not an issue.
Impact- thanks!
Bio-I will be gone to shot this next week but as soon as I get back I'll start working on getting this done.
Thanks
Monty
-
Hey Monty thanks for keeping us informed! As soon as you get those barrels chopped, I want one!
-
And I'll spring for two along with Wes' order. Best wishes at SHOT.
-
Thanks guys will get on it when I get back from shot I'll just do a batch of 20 or so I'll also try to get a few built up and get pics.
Thanks
Monty
-
Will the gas ports need to be enlarged?
-
Wes,
I will run a few of the barrels and get it worked out before I get them to you guys this is something I may do every now and again.
Thanks
Monty
-
One more question Monty....what I really want is a true lightweight barrel; do you have the ability to machine the barrel in front of the front sight base down to a reasonable diameter, say .600", on a special order basis? Along with trimming back to 14.5", or course.
-
Wes,
Sorry I do not mine are .680 in front of the gas block though.
Thanks
Monty
-
Monty like the new website and my MK12 is a laser. Couldn't be happier with the end product. Any plans on doing a MK18 setup?

.680 is not too heavy; I can live with it!
AR guys are such pains to deal with, eh.
-
Monte, Couple of questions. First, are these specs applicable to both the light weight & mid weight barrels? Same accuracy guarantee for both weights? and finally, I hope this isn't a dumb question, but what is a tapper bore?
-16inch mid length
-cold hammer forged
-M4 extended feed ramp
-1:7 right hand twist with 5.56 Chamber
-tapper bore
-HP/MPI tested
-Extra thick Chrome lining
-Mil Spec Phosphate finish
-***Guaranteed capable of 1 MOA or better accuracy with proper ammunition***
-***Service life three times a standard barrel***
-
Tapered bore. A bore with taper to it.
-
That 12.5" lightweight upper with CHF barrel is badass, and exactly what I've been trying to find for my first SBR these last couple years. The 16" lightweight looks fantastic, too. Monty, you're gonna melt my credit card.

At the risk of further exposing my ignorance, what is the purpose / benefits of a tapered bore?
