Well, that's what you get when you get half a dozen hobbyiests copy a product with non NIST traceable measuring equipment. Dimensional tolerance salad.

Imagine sending a production car to six different car parts manufacturers and getting them to make one out of six components. They each only get one complete car to duplicate their parts from and they're not allowed to talk to each other and share their measurements to develop any knowledge of manufacturing tolerances that their base machine is built to.

Hide all the stuff in a dump and it's basically Junk Yard Wars in a dump with really excellent stuff that seems purpose built but has to be cobbled together filed down and/or filled up to come to some semblance of working fitment.
