If you have some minor etching of your bolt face and you decide at some stage to sell the rifle it may or may not knock the asking price down some. That's whether any potential buyer ever noticed the etching in the first place. Even so, the honest thing to do is to make it known to said potential buyer and explain what caused it.

Personally, as long as it was minor, it wouldn't bother me when buying a rifle. Also, I keep my rifles for at least twenty years on average and don't buy rifles to sell. Your mileage may vary - as the saying goes.

Too easy mate this is basically how I feel about the situation.
