that it was caught in pre production during the lawsuit and that the plomb name was ground off before plating

hello all, trying to confirm, or debunk the grind off on this 5460 proto extension. it feels smooth, like what you would expect if it were plated after the grind, nothing rough at all about it, no chipping, rust, discoloration, or sharp edges or ridges. also it looks pretty uniform and no...
