Welcome to the forum ploobr. I bought a walmart 10/22 rifle. I already had a 10/22 carbine I bought from acadamey sports. The inside of both receivers look the same. The Ruger 10/22 is very reliable, one of the most customized rifles there is, as most all parts are customer drop in. I'm not polishing the inside of mine, as it dosen't effect the looks, or function. The action will smooth out as you break it in.
Having been in aircraft for 20 years or so, I have a concern about sanding, grinding, polishing the surface of aluminum. As it has been treated to prevent corosion. On aircraft we use alodine a corosive liquid to etch the surface to prevent corosion. Personally I'd not mess with the aluminium receiver. I would recommend the bolt buffer, and the other drop in parts coyote mentioned. Do the buffer if nothing else! And above all else, have fun shooten it!
