Hey I am looking to buy this MPA Matrix Pro II and get into PRS. Seller stated he had only around 100 rounds through it and mostly just dry fire. His reason for selling was he just not able to get into PRS. I requested a picture of the bolt face and chamber and this is what he sent. Just looking for a second opinion on wear. Overall the outside is pretty pristine. I appreciate the help and any other recommendations for this transaction.
Bolt wear
- Thread starter Remarkable Orange Fly
- Start date
That is a lot of grease... I'd drop it in kerosene overnight and blow it out with air the next day.
Doesn’t look like a lot of wear though. With that amount of grease and the seller's admission of dry-fire practice, looks like he was trying to smooth out the action.
Personally I would be looking for pitting caused by blown primer pockets. Ask him to clean it and look again.

After seeing that pick, the bolt face, all that grease. I would want to inspect it in person at a minimum before buying.
It looks like the American Rifle Co CDG action (or branded for MPA). Even if the bolt face is in someway worn or damaged - it can be replaced. Bolt head and extractor are $175 direct from ARC. If it's a good price and seller can produce documentation when he bought it, I wouldn't let that stop the sale if everything is a good fit.
Appears to be pitting to me. Why in the fuck don't people clean shit prior to selling or was it on purpose to conceal it?
