9supercomp Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I dry fire my STI all the time, is ok to dry fire my Colt AR15 or should I use a snap cap in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Schwab Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I don't believe there are any negative side effects to dry firing an AR. But if there were side effects the only parts that could be damaged are the firing pin and bolt (the bolt, not the bolt carrier), and they're cheap anyway.

kellyn Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I've dry fired all my ARs tens of thousands of times with no ill effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionshooter Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Like the others I have dry fired my AR's countless times-I just wish it was as easy (to cock the hammer) as my SV! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
