Stupid timing chain factoid

I have a new Summit chain (well new never used bought back in 08) that I think is sloppy as mud...has anyone ever seen this with new kits?

When I rebuilt my slant 5-6 years ago, the NEW Cloyes timing set was loose. Not just loose but waaaay loose. It looked like 200,000 mile muddy loose.
After obtaining part numbers for a double roller chain, cam sprocket, and crank sprocket, all separate parts from NAPA, I just bought a Rolmaster double roller set. I think it ended up being cheaper than the NAPA parts, right around 100 bucks.
