Huh, learn something new everyday, I've been wondering what that little option showed up for.

OHHH, so I'm the mean one here? My apologies, I come from Snipers Hide, which has been flooded by trolls lately, so I just assumed as such. Sorry for the derail.
And I really should have specified: any reason why the Geissele tool won't work with the CMR? |

Looks like it will work to me. A simple spanner wrench.

View Quote I used the Geissele tool to install my 556 CMR as a side note where I ordered my rail sent me a 308 rail the first time by accident and the G tool would not work. I figured out it was the wrong rail and they sent me a 556 rail. |

Makes sense, the 5.56 just barely fits, and the 7.62 obviously has to be larger in diameter.

For anyone that needs them, I have a 3 pack of the FDE covers, 1 OD green scout light mount and 1 long black rail segment with screws that anyone can have for the shipping cost. Spoken for!
I ordered the rail and covers the day before the OD packs came available and forgot to cancel the order. |

I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took a .50 bolt in the neck.

Anyone put on one of these with a b cm low profile .625 gas block?
I have one and I'm wondering if it will fit under the rail. |

Yeah it is a pretty small block so I was hoping it would.
Thanks for the info |
|
|
The bottom looks a little thick but you should be ok. Worse comes to worse, you can file some of the bottom of the gas block off. I kinda doubt you will have much trouble with a .625 gas block, .750 gas blocks are a much tighter fit

Not sure if the .625 will fit or not. |

Can't say that I have a solution since that gun hasn't been shot since the CMR moved on it. I think it's a problem with the barrel nut, but I don't know for sure since I haven't tested a fix. |

The solution to a loose rail/it walking forward is the method for HOW you tighten the rail. You have to take turns and alternate on one side of the rail, then the other, so both sides tighten down at the same time.
This might be hard to understand because I'm on my phone, so hopefully this YouTube video links properly: [youtube]http://youtu.be/hFhxMkyAOvI[/youtube] here is a direct link: https://youtu.be/hFhxMkyAOvI |

I too find them a tad heavy , but they are awesome on a bench gun.

Just another 0311.

Will the 12 inch model also have the "lightening cuts"? Seems like the 14 inch lost a few ounces with the new version, wondering if the 12 inch version will be even lighter with the cuts. Unless I already missed something, but I only see the first generation of the 12 inch rail available on Centurions site.

They do that. I used to see Troys do that quite a bit back when they were just about the only tube. It can only be tightened so much before it starts pulling the top section that goes over the gas tube apart. Flimsy design. Look at the BCM KMR. The clamp bolt runs through the top of the tube, better design. |

I also wouldn't compare Troy, but that is for a Troy thread. |

I would trust Monty and Corrie too. They have taken care of me before with my older 14" CMR, good people.
