j-brog 0 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi, Have a Beretta 301, was wondering what the dangers are of dry firing without snap caps etc in the chamber? Is this likely to damage the firing pin or cause any other problems with the mechanism? Thanks Quote Link to post

andyf 144 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes 'dry fire' your A301 as much as you like. No harm to be done, not much good either, but hey who cares. I prefer my shotguns to be parked in the cabinet with the action 'let go', OU & SS ought to be fired onto snap caps because of their design, but the semi-auto action is different and needn't have an anvil to fall on. Make sure it's EMPTY first though, or you might damage the backroom ceiling! Imagine having to explain that one to the missus! AndyF Quote Link to post
