![]() Can I assume that these rifles are safe to dry-fire with impunity? But I've never heard of any particular problems with firing pin breakage on any of them. I imagine that M14s, M1s, M1 carbines, and M1903s were similarly dry-fired A LOT in their days. But I don't believe I've ever heard of a broken M16/AR-15 firing pin, at least not from dry-firing. And these were dedicated training rifles-they probably got several hundred, maybe several thousand 'snaps' a day, five days a week, for years on end (and they were fired live, too). When I was trained on M16, we spent a lot of time dry-firing the things before actually shooting them. But I want to talk about dry-firing CF rifles. 22s, both long and short (there are exceptions, such as most Rugers). I know that dry-firing most centerfire handguns (1911 excepted) without a snap cap is a bad idea and will eventually lead to damage. ![]()
