I've noticed those ripples too from a marksman I did. They don't show to the naked eye, but on a magnified picture they really stand out. If I do another (and I probably will), I'll polish the edges of the clip. It's stainless, so it should polish without a problem.
Unnecessary perhaps but I am clearly able to see them with the naked eye without magnification and few other problems to, specifically noted in the last 2 images from the OP. I am not sure about the laser nor have I looked at what equipment was used.
What I have seen so far is these are 80-90% kits. Meaning they are 80-90% finished and requires additional metal work.
Are you saying you can see this in the actual kit pieces that you've done, or just in pictures.
The reason I ask, is because one of my favorite personal pens is a marksman. Until I photographed it, I never saw the machine marks. I'll bet 50 people have held that pen, and not one of them mentioned the marks.
I just took the pen outside in bright sunlight. I can barely see the machine marks if I look closely. I can't feel them with my finger though.
I think most kit pens wouldn't be perfect. The fact that other kits are plated, may help cover some imperfections.
