Based on the MDSP Firearms Search;
The 2013 Ban banned:
The Argentine L.S.R.
FN LAR and FN FAL assault rifle
SAR-48
The Century Arms L1A1 was identified in April 2017 as a copy of an enumerated banned assault weapon.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the first 3 models listed (L.S.R., FAL, and SAR-48) are all based on or are the Metric Pattern FAL, while the Century L1A1 is a mix of Inch and Metric parts built on a metric receiver.
"a firearm is considered a copy if it is both cosmetically similar to and has completely interchangeable internal components necessary for the full operation and function of one of the enumerated banned weapons"
(metric)
(inch)

(FAL files on parts interchangeability between Inch and Metric)
Would it be safe to say that building a "L1A1" off of a L1A1 parts kit and Inch pattern receiver (assuming one can be found) would not be constructing a copy of a banned weapon, as the banned weapons are all metric pattern, as opposed to inch pattern, and thus have parts incompatibilities?
Thanks for your patience,
