Not even sure if I can find my canadian made century rifle or the extra receiver I have, thus does any one here know what the feedramp configuration of these receivers? They are not the us made centuries, but the ones labled "made in canada".

made in canada receivers are actually imbel or argentine receivers. they were shipped to canada where the final assembly was done by CAI. though the receivers are great.... century is known for their shitty shitty work. typically.... under torqued barrels, mismatch of l1a1 lower with a metric upper, and worst, BENT BARRELS. A lot of the time, the barrel timing is off as well. they usually don't come with US compliance parts either so beware.
If you do get one with a l1a1 lower and a metric upper, you'll be wondering why you shoot so high, it's because the l1a1 rear sight sits much taller than the metric.
anyhow, good luck. i believe all of the "made in canada" receivers had the folding handle cut and the top cover cut, they'd still make great type 3 receivers if you stripped the gun and took the receiver...
as for unibrow etc etc. it's a imbel/argentine. they're perfect dimensionally..... and a widows peak just to let you know
