Show some respect.
Yes, those are used parts inside. Those are the used parts upon which our military and, if I'm not mistaken, that of Israel via military aid, have depended, and with which they have defended our freedom, since I was a wee bit. I have other milsurp rifles. One which defended a communist dictatorship and one which defended its country in time of peace. But this one is my favorite, because it was my freedom, my life, my livelihood, and my culture which were defended at the cost of much blood, and in the face of a hostile world by these two countries, and it was done with this rifle. It also doesn't hurt that it's the most accurate rifle in the arsenal.
Yes, it's a bit sloppy in the upper-lower lockup. But that has no effect on the accuracy of the rifle. Especially not with the included accu-wedge, which snugs it up real good. The bolt carrier group is wholly contained in the upper and, as far as I know, doesn't interact with the lower except at the time of hammer strike on the firing pin, and upon cycling into the buffer.
It's my wife's rifle. I give her the best guns in the house.
Yes, I've had an issue with Century. There was a bolt gap issue (0.026") on my CETME. They replaced the rifle with a superior unit, which they sighted in before they sent it to me. It is so close to true spec that it actually prefers CETME magazines to G3 mags. The bolt gap on the new one is 0.010". That's the geometric mean of the spec range. I had waited until my warranty was almost up before I even called them about the bad bolt gap. I like my new CETME. I love my wife's rifle.
