[cnacowboy]

i just bought my first ar15 a month ago and it looks like the veitnam style. it has a full stock, carry handle, farwad assist ,n a dust cover it is made by centry arms its sporter 15 i payed 700 for it think i got it for a good deal for it

It is probably an A2-style Rifle... While it is not made by a maker known for top of the line AR's, it also doesn't have the top of the line price either ($700), so the only way to know is to shoot it... If it shoots reliably, then you did OK... Then you can check out the other AR-specialty forums for more info and things to look for. AR15.com is popular but also full of know it all/know nothings... M4Carbine.net is a place to learn from some of the best, but be warned, they do not have patience for questions that have answers in the FAQ's and other sticky posts. Many are professional shooters and will slam you if you don't read first and ask questions second...

A good deal is where both parties walk away happy IMHO. Don't worry bout the coupon jones's and mall ninjas with brand names if it works and you are happy!

cowboy, I have a $700 AR by a different brand. To be honest, I love it. With over 1000 rounds through it I have had 0 FTE and only 1 FTF. The FTF was not the guns fault, but a problem with an operator head space error.

Centry arms makes a good product. My buddy bought one several months back paid the same price as you and it has been flawless. My father just picked up a DPMS and it ran $757 out the door it has a few extras on it but man I love that DPMS.

alot of those centurys are made with surplus m16 parts built on new production recievers. usually you get the good stuff like a chrome bore magnetic partical checked and 5.56 mm barrels. check your barrel i bet it says something like colt MPI 1/7 or 1/2 5.56mm

CLEAN AND LUBE THEN LUBE AND CLEAN. A CLEAN GAS TUBE AND BOLT, WHERE THE GASSES IMPINGE, ARE VITAL FOR 100% FUNCTIONING
