I still have the original plastic rod so I don't see anything like that, but your argument about making marks when setting the spring assembly in makes sense.

There is something that is interesting, however. The picture showing the plastic "tabs" also shows some dark areas on the "take down bar", just above the tab area.

My SD9 doesn't have those. Any idea why they are there?

[My bar is stainless also, the only change I have made to my gun, so any dark marks would show.]
