I've been doing a lot of research on building a AR, motivated somewhat by the cost savings, then I ran across Century's C15 selling in the 575 range. It is the A2 20in, most likely what I would build for plinking. I know the parts kit is mil-surplus with Century's stripped lower (who knows for sure who made that). I doubt I could build one any cheaper than that, and for a plinker, occasional varmit gun, it has peaked my interest.

I have read all the negative things spread across the internet about Century's "build quality" or lack of and don't doubt peoples troubles. However, this is offset by a Century CETME that I have that is a hoot to shoot. Never had a problem with it, of course I was able to hand pick mine, so I got a good one.

Does anyone out there have one of these? Has anyone seen/held/fondled one of these? If so, how is it?

My thoughts are, that if the quality is at least decent, it could be a fun plinker now, and serve as a basis to slowly update / customize as I see fit in the future?

Thoughts?
