I take it then that the same will hold true for all mounts/suppressor combinations? 12" won't work on a 12.5" nor the 14" for the 14.5"? |

Do you by chance know if Rainier will carry the 11" when released? Rainier Arms carries everything Centurion Arms makes, and is the largest dealer/ distributor. I can't think of any reason in the world why the 11" CMR would be ignored. |

Mine (14") arrived a couple of days ago but I didn't get a chance to really look at it until yesterday. I'm completely impressed. Yes, it isn't inexpensive - but it's well worth the money. Awesome stuff.

It's pretty sweet that the 14" CMR is lighter but stronger than the 13" Troy Vtac Alpha.

First time showing my AR on ARFCOM and I wasn't sure how an untacticoolified gun would fare on this thread :P. Plus I'm no professional gun porn maker hehe Anyways, there is a small gap between the anti-rotation tabs and the upper receiver, and it is allowing the handguard to rotate just slightly. It's kind of a big deal since I like shooting irons and it causes the front sight to cant. Does this mean I need to torque the barrel nut with a spanner wrench? I got lazy (and cheap) and just used my hand to tighten the barrel nut Also an option is to put shims under the anti-rotation tabs to tighten it up. |

It's probably 90fps but then the length is getting to be too much. Besides 20" gives me expansion with a 70 TSX to 300m or so. |

Centurion Arms CMR rails do not come with any rail sections, which is nice if you are like me and don't want extra stuff thrown in you aren't going to use. If I need rails, covers, spices, drink mixes or anything else, I'll buy them on my own. Nothing is free, it is all added into the cost of the products.
In this case, Centurion Arms will have a very low profile 1913 rail section out in a few months, but for anyone who wants to go cheap, get it now, or already has Magpul plastic rails floating around, this trick works great. The two hole polymer Magpul MOE section lines up perfectly with the CMR rail (the 3 screw does not). Using 8/32 screws, screw the polymer section in, and you are good to go! |

What wrench/tool are you all using to install your CMR? I just got my 12" CMR and don't have the tools to install it. I thought I would have the tool figured out before the rail got here but it turns out this has been harder than I thought. When I look for tools that include that feature most are the worst kind of cheap (unspecified foreign country) combo wrench crap.
Is there a decent quality tool I can purchase, without spending a fortune, that will do the job? Also, There were no instructions included with my CMR. Since the CMR barrel nut does not interface with the gas tube I assume I can set it to whatever torque rating I want. What torque rating do I want? I have always just gone in the "range" wherever the nut lined up. If there is an ideal torque setting I don't know it. Thanks in advance guys. I am not a rich man and this rifle has been 3 years in the making. The funny thing is, being poor has made me spend more on the rifle! Back when I had money I always did "bang-for-the-buck" builds. Decent quality but nothing amazing. Now that I knew I could only sell the wife, and myself, on one rifle I have spent as much as two or three of my old rifles (all sold after an unfortunate life event that has led to our current financial state). It's the whole "If you could have only one" question brought to life. It HAS to be right. The last several months I have only needed the rail to finish the rifle but I could not find a single one that I was satisfied with. The quality was either too low, they had some objectionable feature, or they were missing a must-have feature. I was NOT going to build this with something that was not going to make me happy. As far as I am concerned, the CMR was born so that I could finish my rifle. It is almost exactly what I was dreaming of. Please help me so I can get this thing put together! After 3 years of patience I am all out! Thanks again. |

Mine didn't come with instructions either, but I torqued mine down to roughly 50 ft-lbs with my calibrated elbow.
I already had a spanner wrench in my tool box that worked, don't remember where I got it. I've heard of people using a castle nut wrench that's meant for the receiver extension too. My RRA wrench with its three teeth wouldn't fit on the nut, you'd need one with a single tooth. I thought of sticking something like a long allen wrench all the way through the holes and just tightening the hell out of it, but decided against it. Also, pics will be posted after I paint her next week |
