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.

They got into the "building" part of the game so they could make weapons "compliant", for the most part. Century is an importer first and foremost-they probably bring in more firearms alone than MOST of the others combined.
