[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1688740, member: 10291"] I think it depends on the particular action design. With the recent popularity of PRS where very heavy dry firing practice is popular and done with high frequency. I have seen damage with the popular Remington700 and clones. The weak point is not the spring or firing pin. It is the shock imposed when heavy dry firing with no primer to the cross pin that connects the cocking piece to the firing pin. A diagram, cross-pin and new pin shown. Fortunately, its rare, easy to check for wear, and easy/inexpensive to replace. [ATTACH=full]144525[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144526[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
