Most Commonwealth pattern FALs are semi-automatic only. All others have standard Imperial or "unified" inch-standard threads throughout. The only exceptions are early prototype FALs, and the breech threads only on Israeli and Indian FALs. Most FALs also use SAE threads for barrels and assemblies. Notable incompatibilities include the magazines and the butt-stock, which attach in different ways. Many sub-assemblies are interchangeable between the two types, while components of those sub-assemblies may not be compatible. The original FAL was designed in Belgium, while the components of the "inch-pattern" FALs are manufactured to a slightly modified design using British imperial units. The L1A1 was produced under licence and has seen use in the Australian Army, Canadian Army, Indian Army, Jamaica Defence Force, Malaysian Army, New Zealand Army, Rhodesian Army, Singapore Army and the British Armed Forces. The L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle, also known as the SLR (Self-Loading Rifle), by the Canadian Army designation C1A1 (C1) or in the US as the "inch pattern" FAL, is a British version of the FN FAL battle rifle produced by the Belgian armaments manufacturer FN Herstal. I am just tired of spending time hunting for data that i use to know.Royal Small Arms Factory and Birmingham Small Arms Company factories (UK), If someone adds a correction i will correct it. If i remember more i will add it and if i remember something different i will correct it. Please remember that this is an old man trying to remember stuff or looking at random notes before it is all gone from his mind. Some receivers are marked L1A1 (inch) type 3 and type 1 Some receivers are marked R1A1 ( metric) type 3 i don't remember which rifle they were used on (metric or inch). metric receivers, type 3Ĭentury bought out FAC (?) inventory when they went bankrupt, there were some receivers in the inventory. PAC (?) made a few receivers for century and are Imbel receivers.

type 3ĬI on the serial number are thought to be imbel. they are type 1ĬA on the serial number are ( i forgot i will add this information when i remember it.) they were metric receivers. ( i think i remember FAC may have had something to do with them) they have the unibrow ramp and are cut for the folding charging handle. ICL on the serial number are early Dan Coonan. but, i read there are some inch made, but i don't know for sure. i have only seen metric receivers, type 3. NC on the serial number are made by North Country Machine in Vermont. The early L1A1 receivers were Imbel metric receivers, but cut for the folding charging handle and had the unibrow cut.
Imbel made some receivers with the gear logo on them. Imbel also made some receivers that were stamped Imbel, but without the gear logo on them. Hesse/Vulcan made some receivers for Century and they are usually stamped with Hesse on them, altho a few were not stamped. If it stamped "made in canada" then it is most likely an Imbel receiver, but there were a few Argentine (FMAP) receivers used (5 digit serial number ).

If you feel the need to do some bashing, then feel free to start your own thread. This thread is not "I repeat it is not for the bashing or merits of the Century receiver" it is only to gather information. If anyone has addition information please post it. This is not going to be in any order, it is just information. I have collected some information on the receivers and it may or may not be correct. I have been using century receivers for many years and finding out information on a particular receiver is difficult at best.
