I've had no problems what so ever with mine...but I do have an after-market feedneck (Shock Tech Locking Feedneck) that's been on there since I bought it so I have no experience with the stock feedneck.

The Proto Matrix is an excellent choice IMHO all things considered.

not sure what exactly they complain about as i haven't heard anything... and if there is a problem you can pick up a new one for relatively cheap.

Its a feedneck. If you don't like it shell out 30 bucks and get another.

The Matrixes are great markers. They have no kick, light weight, and very consistent. But they are a little ineffecient. But a top-hat mod should cure that right up.

Tape on a part of the bolt. You can search PBN and find it, usually.

???  Maybe at full retail... if you buy used (or even sometimes new that were won as prizes) you can pay < $900
