It's *all* polished??? Even under the grips, inside the magwell??? Inside the grip frame??? I can understand it being de-blued, or stripped, but there are places I can see in the pics where it would be hard to buff/polish without rounding the edges...and they don't look that rounded...

If it's bare metal, there has to be rust on it somewhere...Do you see any???
