Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Century makes lowers for some of the companies listed above.

I thought Century was the producer of the RRA lowers?

You can get Eagle Arms (ArmaLite) forged lowers for the same price. A-B-C-D (well, throw in RRA).

Most likely that Century receiver is from a manufacturer overrun that was being offered a few months ago. Centurys are made by Continental Machine which also allegedly makes RRA and some other name brands. I have two and they are indistingushable from other lowers I have.

Get the Century, good quality, and you have been offered a good price. No need to go elsewhere.

I have three Century lowers, my shooting buddy has three century lowers, and my dealer orderd a dozen Century lowers. They look fine to me. All mine have been assembled into complete rifles that run fine. I don't know all the inside details on the manufacture of lowers, but I would bet these lowers are the exact same forged lowers as others with different names on the side. When I ordered mine, they were $79/each but my dealer screwed me by charging me $25 per lower for the transfer. Needless to say, I won't be ordering anymore lowers from him.

If you look at the Serial No, you will probably notice it starts will CM. Quite a few lowers from other manufacturs also have this. They are machined at a place in New England and stand for Continental Machine.
