One other thing that bothers me about the photo, I do agree that it could be the lens doing the effect but I don’t like the lower lip of the ejection port. It does look slightly bowed outward.
I agree that it could be the lens but I also think that other arias of the gun in the photo should show the same curve. The upper edge is nice and straight all the way to the left of the photo. But the lower bows out THEN back in. And also notice that the loading port is much straighter.
The ejection port is bullet shaped from the factory.To me, it looks like the ejection port is just oddly shaped (from the factory or otherwise).

What I'm wondering is this: if you are so paranoid about the rifle being ruined, why are you messing around? If you are uncomfortable with it, just walk away. But just because you don't know what it's supposed to look like does not mean there is anything wrong with it.
