I got the point you were making about the yoke to frame fit. I suppose you look for the same kind of thing you would with the sideplate seam?
Would you have a picture of what a correct ejector rod would look like? I think I get what you're saying, but a picture would confirm it...
Of course someone who didn't know better might mistake an unblued ejector rod knob as a sign of wear and try to do a "touch up" with cold blue.
