[QUOTE="Raysmith333, post: 1688834, member: 93440"] The firing pin will break after dry firing many hundreds of times. That is how I broke one on a Marlin 336. It broke at the junction where it changes diameters, the larger diameter of the pin stops and the smaller portion tries to keep going, a stress fracture occurs and the pin will eventually breaks. No other damage occurred. Replacing the pin was all that was needed to make the repair. I doubt that a few dry firings would cause harm but I suppose it could break after just a few dry firings if there was an imperfection in the firing pin. [/QUOTE]
