[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 659286, member: 10"] As said, if your concerned get a snap cap. The truth is that dry firing is perfectly safe for most modern rifle designs but there are some that should not be dry fired because the firing pin designs are not designed to handle the unsprung stress of dry firing. Those that come to mind are the: Win M70 Mauser (most models) Springfield 1903 This is mostly because of the firing pin design more then anything else. I have not heard to many problems with the AR platforms but a 223 snap cap is pretty cheap insurance. [/QUOTE]
