Info on Centurion 7.62/AR-10?

[Kirk Freeman]

Word on the street is that a AR-10 variant is coming from Centurion.

Anyone have any inside info? Rumors? Completely made-up b.s.?

I just talked to Monty and he has one in the works. No specifics yet but he said he’s still a few months out from the release. Hope that helps.

So what am I to do until then . . . just buy other guns . . . rhino mock? Ok, ok, both then.

So is it AR-10 or is he gonna cut it like DPMS's Recon GII? Like an AR-12.5ish?

He didn’t offer up any specifications so I can’t be of help other than to say that it’s coming. As far as what to do in the meantime.....start saving for the rifle, optic or other accessories, that’s what I plan to do as I don’t have a large caliber AR in the inventory at the moment.

I have an LMT and it is . . . just frickin' gorgeous but last weekend I shot a buddy's Smith MP10 and I WANTED to looked down my nose at it but couldn't. Dig the barrel, the flash suppressor and the fact that it ran like a sewing machine, I would want a crisp single stage it in it and maybe an adjustable gas block for a suppressor but don't know. Anywho, I am a sucker for "bang for the buck" and the Smith MP10 goes for 1100 here in Lafayette.

I bought 20 round mags of all kinds of 7.62 and .308--South African, Cavim from South America, British, commercial loads, inter alia. Shot them all without fail.

The Smith likes heavier projectiles it seems. The groups shot to near MOA when I went from the RSA ammo (147 grain) to the commercial 168s.

He had a VCOG on it.

I’d love to have an LMT in .308, I have six of theirs in 5.56

The prototype is very soft shooting.
i believe it will be a Knight's pattern.
Billet.

DI then? Not piston.

You shoot it (as you are real close to Morgantown) or get sent video?

Monty, if you are out there lurking, throw us a bone here.

Yes DI. Yes close to Morgantown. Yes shot it.
I am not sure how much more I can say, without screwing myself out of playing with more of Monty's stuff.
i will say he has some cool stuff in the works.

Thanks much!

If he needs test shooters, I have broken a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk without shooting it, broken a Colt Frontier in half, sheared off hammer hooks off a Les Baer, and broken a Glock.

If it can survive me, it can survive anything. Just saying. Otherwise I'll wait . . . for a while . . . gonna buy a gun or two . . . Ok, two.

Otherwise . . .

Monty needs to be on here. We all would welcome and appreciate his knowledge.

Oh, I will take care of breaking stuff. Broke the barrel before it was drilled for the gas port!

He told me he was done with forums. But we can hope.

I almost talked myself into one of these. https://www.f4defense.com/product/sf10-small-frame-22-creedmoor/

Maybe it's a good thing I waited.

He drops in over on M4Carbine.net from time to time. I doubt he will make it onto here. He was gracious enough to let me tour his shop last summer. He's got some really cool stuff in the works indeed. His complete 7.62 rifles will be SR-25 based. No need for piston crap

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Welp . . . some sort of AR-10ish rifle is on the Centurion Arms webpage now. Not sure if complete rifle or just highlighting his lowers.

I'll just keep being patient . . . for now.

Definitely on my must have list. This will probably be the first project of 2020 for me.

INGO Meet and Buy in Morgan County?

Could be fun. I’ve not made it down to Monty’s shop yet.

I envision a scene like from Twister. INGO shows up at Freeman's relatives on Liberty Church Road just south of Martinsville and we make them cook steak and eggs for us and then drive to Morgantown and buy guns.

This, of course, would be looked at as a completely normal Saturday morning in Morgan County.
