Century built Inch kits on Metric receivers because they had a bunch of them. Also sold the receivers separately. Sometimes they also put an Inch front end and a Metric lower together, or vice versa, mixed parts willy nilly without thought or worries, as long as it somehow made an FAL when finished, they did it.

Magazine availability really had to be the absolute least of their concerns. Build it cheap!! Move it out the door!!

Butthole stock, nice Inch kit, maybe $800 tops.
