Yes, PM8 and DM9 bolt is slightly changed. But while it helped some, it was not a DRASTIC improvement in any area over the previous matrix bolts.

The DM9 bolt is like an inch shorter than the older style, making the DM9 a lot smaller than the 08, lowering the OP, and getting better numbers.

Better, yes. But not drastic. They've improved efficiency slightly almost every model (DM4/5/C all same) since DYE has owned the rights to the Matrix. 6 was slightly better, 7 yet, 8 again, 9 still. While the DM9 is most definitely the most efficient Matrix ever made, it's not amazing improvements over the DM8 or 7. And the amount I hate it's eyes overrule any amount of improved efficiency IMO. But that's just me.

Well, I like the self-cleaning eyes. I just hate the fully internal eye-pipe system of the 8 & 9.

They are TRYING to relaunch. There are no official announcements, nothing but Bronc's statement that he is working on a new version of the Quest that he would LIKE to have out before 2010. However, there is nothing wrong with buying the current ones, they're much cheaper than a new Quest would be (even if it were available, it'll probably be close to a grand), and they still perform wonderfully. And in that thought of mind, here's the newest member of my family that should be shipping out in a couple days.

I paid $250 shipped and paypal'd for it. Not bad considering it's got the GM bolt and snatch pin. I've seen better deals most definitely, but I'm happy to have a non-gunmetal one.

It's got a Virtue (I personally dislike Virtue boards). I have a .696 007 with one of my Quests. I'm not sure what bore comes with this one. I've never used it though, I use my kits on most of my markers over a stock barrel, even if it's a good stock barrel.

Nah, cause I'll put my NOX in it and sell the gunmetal one with Virtue. All the little Agglets will go nuts over it having a Virtue board.

Blah. My red quest had a NOX chip. I was not a fan. I'd take a working WAS board over it anyday like in my silver quest.

WORKING is the key word there.

WAS boards are great, IF they work.
