Yes, it does appear to be extended...But I would be more concerned with the serial #'s on the opposite side; there does not appear to be any halos...and the font doesn't look quite right (that might be just me)...and the tooling marks on the receiver just behind the the 4-digit serial are distinct, but they disappear where the number is stamped...Looks like a scrub in that area too...Maybe...

And poorly fitting grips, as noted elsewhere...(Around top 'point' and mag button)...
