iS THIS A PROBLEM?

When I first got my Piranha the top of the bolt (the part I can see thru te feed was perfectly fine) then after only 10-20 trial shots the red paint is scratched clean off in about a 1/4 inch thick strip along the top of the bolt. No farther scratching has been done in the 4 or so games ive used it in so far. This doesnt really bother me cause no-one can see the bolt but is this damaging the inside of the gun or bolt or decreasing performance? If it is what do i do?

Its common and wont really effect your marker or its performance but if its metal you can sand down the scratches and polish it......... http://www.ottersccustoms.com/polishing.html

yeah, just wear and tear... make sure you are oiling the bolt orings regularly though, that'll help
