There is no question that lots of CENTURY cast recievers were cut for both. (remember, these are form the 'ban' days, so mags were more relevent then). My guess was that at the time, Century had a ton if inch mags and wanted to ship with them-so had them cut, or cut them themselves to accept inch mags. This rifle was right off the BBT from Century, so I know it wasn't a home job also.ĮTA:it has been debated in the past whether Century R1A1's ON IMBEL receivers were all ONLY metric cut, or whether there were both-the second Century on Imbel that I bought was INCH cut-although the cut did not appear to be from the Imbel factory (no parkerizing in the rectangular cut)-it did appear professionally done though, with the correct equipment-not a Century monkey with a dremel. I had an inch cut Century on Imbel(bought it right after the metric one I still have) It ran fine with either mags. Some Century R1A1's were cut for inch mags, some for metric.(I believe most were cut for metric, though)-inch cut receivers will generally run well with EITHER mags, metric cut can ONLY use metric mags. The biggest benefit of 'metric', in my OPINION is the abundance of mags-there is plenty of parts out there for both patterns, but much more metric 'parts kits'-Dealers Warehouse sell lots of new inch parts.
probably around here and deffinately at FAL Files on this. There was a ban on receivers AND barrels (from kits).This was instituted by BATFE I believe, not at Congress, thats why it has gone pretty well unnoticed except by "builders".you can find particular info. You know all those Mosin-Nagants, Yugo Mausers, Yugo SKS's, Enfields, Romanian AK's.all Century. Hesse is a rinkydink outfit that we would be better off without-Century is NO comparison-they bring our shooting community ALOT of weapons at cheap prices (comparitively). When we don't, we tell everyone on these boards (and rightfully so)-when they work like they should, its expected, so we don't tell everyone. installed improperly-the bullets grazed the side-thats how "out of square" it was.Ĭentury is like Springfield Armory-they pump out ALOT of firearms, but you typically only hear about the bad ones-thats because we expect to get what we pay for. The only problem I ever had with one of their "builds" was a CETME with a M.B. I have had very good luck with them-some have had the opposite luck. I believe South Africa had a version of thew FAL actually called the R1A1, which was inch pattern (they could be. The R1A1 is Century Intl.s version of the FAL-using a mix of metric and inch pattern parts. They got into the "building" part of the game so they could make weapons "compliant", for the most part. The L1A1 is the British Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, New Zealand,etc.)version of the FAL, built using all inch pattern parts. Century is an importer first and foremost-they probably bring in more firearms alone than MOST of the others combined.
