Century Arms International has anyone built a AR using this lower??

Even though they are marked Century they are actually made by Continental Machine and Tool and are of excellent quality. CMT is a major contractor of AR15 forgings for Colt and others.

Those receivers work fine - no problems

I have 3 receivers from them, and have 2 complete rifles on CIA receivers.

Good stuff!!

I likes 'em enough to have a matching pair. Quality is as good as it gets. They are still out there for $88 through one distributor that I know of that bought Century's remaining inventory of receivers sometime last summer. Century use to build and sell AR-15's known as the C-15 line a few years ago.

Continental Machine, huh? Makes sense since the serial numbers begin with CM 00XXX.

My sn is CMT18xx.
They are reported to make M16 lowers for Colt.

Yeah, right there they are out of Connecticut. Which four letter firearm manufacturer is also from that state?

With the CIA receiver ya get a Colt receiver without the horsey logo and overinflated price.

Thanks for the info Firebase.

Are these forged mill-spec receivers, not the odd sized pin holes like on civilian Colts?

No, they're same spec as forged DPMS, Bushy, Olympic, RRA, and countless others out there.

Great! Thanks again.

Now if I can just find away to sneek this little project past Mrs. Gunner45 :)

I also have a pair of century lowers the fit and finish are excellent. They make a great foundation for an A-R.

Just got my receiver in from Mr. Murray. Haven't built it up yet, but as far as buying from him, I'd do it again.

$80 plus shipping (discount for 2 or more)
