Looks pretty good for $700

Before I bought a Century built AR, never mind I would never buy a Century built AR.

I would buy the M16 Parts Kit from Century and then assemble it on a known entity lower. The parts kit is under $500 from Century and includes everything but the lower receiver.

You'd wind up with a better AR for under $600.

Here is a picture of an appreptice  and a superviser and with the fire arm one of century arms master gunsmiths,,,,,and this is as nice as I can speak of century arms "built" rifles I have had 2  and I will not ever buy a 3rd one  "built" by them.


You would be much better off building one yourself get a book and the reciver and a kit.

I've seen too many century arms rifles with problems at the range. Buy a kit for the same money and have fun building it yourself. I built one of Del-ton's kits, it shoots as well as any stock AR. Start with a basic AR and put what ever go fast stuff on later. $585.00 plus shipping

The M16 parts kits Century is selling are all Colt parts except for the barrel, which ATF wouldn't allow importation of.
