    The reason I think this is the clear end mill mark along the top edge. It's not deep, or particularly wallowed. If that were metal, it would still be shiny.
    Down in the pocket, no, it would be dark from being ground out by the same metal it was made from. But that top spot would be bright metal.

    Also, there are a few burrs, string like burrs. Looks to be some in the left end of the pocket, and a good one in the hole in the bottom where the trigger goes through. I blew it up, there's air bubble spots in the left end as well. Metal does not do that.
    Well, not with anything you'd likely have at home.
    While aluminum will string, it looks different, and is bright.

    I agree. That looks like a polymer lower, high speed - melt job. Note the melted plastic pulled into strings near the trigger cut out and just above the area where the safety selector should be. Definitely gunsmith hall of shame material there.

    Yes that and twigs are quite common. Usually works just fine in a pinch and typically causes no issues.
