This pin keeps the gas piston from falling off during disassembly. Tube's base that screws into the magazine tube. 750 long retainer pin 1.535" in front of the Gas piston has no writing on it so can be installed upside down, however theįorearm can not be totally assembled if in this manner. Trapped in the piston, but this may have been a secondary relief, as the later Thought here was that it may act as an initial gas bleed off, however the gas is Slide tubes for the Centurion have an overall length of just the tubing ofĮarly slide tubes have (3) equally spaced holes of. for these firearms, and some other discontinued Weatherby models. They also make locking blocks, extractors, firing pins, operating handlesĮtc. Wisner’s makes a carrier that when used in conjunction with theĬenturion slide assembly, will allow this Centurion slide assembly to fit andįunction in the Centurion II and the Model 82. The Centurion II and 82 have a completely different slide assembly. , was making replacement Centurion slide assemblies. Immediately above is a broken slide assembly off a On top is Wisner's conversion unit for the Centurion & model 82 These extensions are shaped and beveled so they will slide You will note that these lower 2 have bevels on bothĮdges. The top one is for a model 82 as evidenced by the cut The middle one is for a Centurion orĬenturion II. The picture below, the bottom illustration shows a broken EARLY one piece castĬenturion carrier extension. In place with the rear to nestle in the recoil plunger. Then later they eliminated the rivet, simply allowing the front of be pinned While others have (2) at the silver solder These slide arms have only (1) set of alignments pin, Spacer separates these extensions so the hammer can move between them. Then at the pivot point where they are attached to the carrier.
To made a RH and LH extension, with spacer (mentioned above) between Later carrier extensions were simply a stamped out sheet steel, formed as However the way the riveted extensions are made, they could have been anĮarly retrofit for the cast extensions IF a spacer was also used at the front. Spacer section to separate the extensions. One piece cast extension but fitted to the new carrier that had a machined This configuration appears to be an intermediate version between the old The rear holding the two extensions together.
Stamped extensions with a carrier extension that used two of the later single Side that a spring loaded detent in the forearm counter-bore interacted with toĬenturions, as with s/n A04905, used the newer carrier machined for the (2) The magazine cap had detent notches on the rear Wood forearm front was counter-bored to accept the magazine cap so the cap was not That was slotted down the center allowing the hammer to extend up thru the The early versions used a single cast carrier extension The locking system and operating handle was Used only the recoil spring in the buttstock to absorb recoil without a stopīuffer in the rear receiver. They used a non compensating gas system which Guns used a aluminum receiver, ventilated rib barrel, had a nicelyįinished checkered walnut stock that had a white line spacer between the
WEATHERBY SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBER
The 2, as the firearms appear identical except the serial number prefix. We have not been able to find any differences in parts between Instead of with the grain of steel, resulting in a weaker part.įirearms were made by 2 different manufacturers, with even a phase-in / phase-out That the factory may have manufactured them by cutting the material cross grain Also we have found that possibly on a batch of slide arms I believe, is that there was no provision for a recoil buffer in thisįirearm. On the semi-autos, this will break, and welding The one part that seems to give the most trouble, is the slide assembly
They call the recoil spring links, carrier extensions, and the breech bolt Guns do not match what we normal associate with US made forearms. HERE as much of the nomenclature used by Weatherby on these May want to take a look at the exploded views page CLICK These guns have the model designation engraved on the LH side of the receiver. Gun to the semi-autos as they utilized many of the same parts. We will deal primarily with the semi-autos here, however the pumps may be This will cover the Centurion, Centurion II, and 82 semi-autosĭiscontinued and have been for years, with most parts being obsolete.
