polishing lug holes

hi everyone, as the subject line suggests, i am curious to know more about tips for judging a polishing job on the case sides. and this brings me to the lug holes.

am i assuming correctly that excessive polishing will create an oblong lug hole? of course, i've seen some cases where the end of the springbar is protruding. that is crazy!

also, does uneven polishing account for why at one lug hole, the springbar is almost flush with the case, and on another lug hole, the springbar is more recessed? when you see this, is this due to case polishing, or is it due to variances in springbar 'springiness'? you like that word?

if lug holes are accurate and telling of the polishing job, then the no-holes cases are more difficult, no?

cheers,

ayres
