There's a company that purchased Hesse's flat stamping equipment and then updated them. many years ago so this could be them?

Ohio Rapid also made their own stamping equipment so another contender.

Gewehr works makes their plates also and has the stamps

If Gewehr then their good to go' as long as the metal is the same thickness and of the same quality then the receiver should be sound. Were the issue's going to raise it's head is whom welded them and how.

It's a American made CETME which is the predecessor to the H&K. This isn't a H&K Bolt Carrier System & Charging System they differ as does the trigger pack. That being said it's a great platform and can take some of the H&K parts while others will require modification.

You can bet these will be fun and you'll be amazed with the felt recoil system of the CETME....it just feels lighter.

H&K's trigger system is considered head shoulders above then the CETME trigger system and is easier to modify. Williams Trigger systems does a decent job on taming the trigger.

I would almost agree with you, but, PTR has made so many design changes in order to "simplify their manufacturing process", that the PTR rifle must now be gutted out of it's cast/mim/substandard internal parts in order to have a rifle with confidence.
Now, PTR has changed the charging tube, and that cant be easily swapped out. At the same time, Century is now offering a PTR barreled receiver combined with OEM CETME parts.
And it's $200 cheaper. So it's not a bad deal...
