[QUOTE="jpwnomad, post: 1689148, member: 88121"] My Browning Buckmark 22LR specifically says Do Not Dry Fire. I made a label to go into the storage case to remind me. Normally use Snapcaps, but do, on the rare occasion, dry fire. As to the M16/AR15/AR10 there is no firing pin spring to damage, but I always keep spare firing pins. Some consideration might be warranted to premature buffer spring wear, but they are mil-spec and rated for thousands of cycles. Thanks to all the members for the great ideas for homemade dummy rounds. going to check out using mechanical pencil erasers for the primer pockets, used ones ought to be just the right height. Brass that is past its reloading life should make great donors. [/QUOTE]
