What did YOU do with your Centurion stripped lower?

[MWAG19919]

I just picked up my CM4 lower from the group buy from my FFL today. My dad and I have been planning an AR pistol together for months, and the lower was the last piece of the puzzle. We built it today and had a blast doing so. I only test fired it one time, but it cycled XM193 perfectly and locked back on an empty magazine. We'll be putting a lot more rounds through it this weekend!

I'm very happy with the lower and the fact that Monty gave us this opportunity.

I have one built as a carbine lower, and one with an A1 stock.


You reminded me that I need to pick up some blue springco springs.

Replacing a less than desirable lower on a current pistol build. Being built up with a Colt LPK and an SBA3. Switching out the current upper also for continuity/OCD sake. Will match up nicely with the C4 Rail already on the build.

I had to pass up the deal, sadface.

That is a schweeet blaster.

Awesome stuff! Looks like fun, jealous you got your pistol built out already.

I am probably at a year left in my endeavour to turn it into the new GAU-5A. Start it out as an sba3 braced and move over to a stock when the sbr form comes back.

I intend to form 1 all 3. The first will be a 10.3” suppressor host with G rail. I’m planning to use an A5, Sandman, one of Clint’s gas port thingies, DD grip, and a EDT trigger.

Edit: My FFL received them today.

Hey Stick,
Were those (upper/lower and rail) all from the group buy?

Looks like a nice set up.

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys find the fit between the lowers and uppers? Is it nice and tight, or is it kind of sloppy? I ask because I'm thinking about ordering one for an A2 build I have planned, but not sure how these would mate to a non Centurion upper.
