That could make for some very cool Kino setups. Especially if the midlength cutout rail has room for a can on a 12.5" barrel.
this would be very good. I’ve always been a little perplexed why Monty doesn’t have wider distribution for such great products. not to cast any stones on any of his existing ones but it seems like he’s the best kept secret in rails, etc…
As an aside, it’s impressive as hell how he keeps up with everything (I’ve heard) he has going on. I emailed him about some hardware over the weekend and heard back from him on Sunday. I’ll definitely continue to buy from Centurion.
Anybody know where I can find the mid-length variant in stock?
Rainierarms and Bravocompany seem to be out-of-stock.

Looks like it should work fine.
I must say… a 16" BFH LW midlength upper with Centurion Arms C4 cutout rail would be very tempting!

Thanks Stickman. I’m really liking that setup, may have to give it a shot, if the IRS gives me a good refund!
Seems to be a shortage of them. I have contacted 5 retailers. All out for now…
Sorry to ressurect a semi-dead thread, but why didn’t the OP consider a DDM4 cutout rail? Weight seemed to be a major concern and it’s lighter than the Centurion at about the same price.
I have a C4 12" on a middy that I absolutely adore but really, is the Centurion rail that much better than the DD rail that no one mentioned it? I’ve got the DDM4 on my DDM4V1LW and it’s rock solid and super lightweight, plus they seem more readily available than the Centurion rails.
Is it because Centurion is just considered more “high speed” now??
What are the advantages? I was considering another cutout rail for an orphaned 16" carbine and was looking at both this morning - I don’t want two DDM4s, as then the rifles would look identical.
Is the Centurion a superior design? Should I just get that damned Troy Delta and join the tube-o-lution?
I was just gonna shave the FSB down, wait for a 16.7 NSR to come in stock, and throw a HERA comp on it, but the idea seems sillier every time I think about it.
I don’t think the Centurion is superior, just different. It is the best rail for me since I don’t have the tools necessary to install a DD rail. I do have a grinding wheel and tin snips to install the Centurion though.
When you’re talking good quality handguards (like most equipment) it comes down to personal preference and what you think you’ll need. I have a DD 12" Lite Rail on my 16" and it’s great. I have a Centurion Carbine Cut Out rail on one of my SBRs and have found that I prefer it over the Lite Rail. Not enough to replace the Lite Rail, but for any future build, I’ll be getting the Centurion. I will be replacing a couple of other rails/handguards with the Centurion though. Both are quality pieces, i just prefer the feel of the Centurion. Most people don’t “need” all that rail space. Focus on your needs, and something like a “tube” with replaceable rail sections may be best suited for you. I personally like rails all the way down for a carbine.
