Default Is this abnormal wear on cylinder?

Picked up this 6.2 l99 for a swap.. cleaned it up and noticed the cylinder walls had some wear spots.. was wondering if this was normal? My finger nail doesnt catch on any of the spots..

That's a little more wear than normal, but nothing to be really worried about.

Ideally you'd like to still see the cross hatching, but that's not something major. Does it still feel smooth if you run your fingers over it? I know you said you can't catch it with your nails, but how does it feel on the fingertips?
