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.

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. |

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? Gunner45 |

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

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) Rob |
