[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dry firing for 5.45?

Posted: 4/10/2006 9:14:22 AM EDT

Does anyone know of a source where I could get some dry fire dummy rounds I could use to practice dry firing my sar-2 with?

Why cant you just use a spent shell case from a round that has already been fired to practice dry firing with?

I know the rifle usually dents the steel when you fire, but you could still just pull the bullet out and dump the powder, explode the primer, and use this?

I just use an empty chamber.

It's a dog, not a house cat.

This wont damage the rifle?

Think about it though.

AKs were made to dry fire.

The hammer falls after the last round is expended in the full auto real AKs. That's how you know you're out you hear the click on an empty chamber.

So I wouldn't worry about it.

No, this is how the russians drill with them. Empty chamber. ITS AN AK, Dry fireing wont kill it.

About the only firearm I wouldn't care to dryfire too much would be a rimfire. Other than that dryfiring is great practice. Snapcaps are the biggest scam out there.

MauserMark is exactly right. You don't even have to fire it full auto.... everytime you shoot the gun semi-auto, unless you always count how many rounds you've fired, you always end up dry firing when the ammo in the mag runs out.

The only gun I wouldn't dry fire would be a CZ-52. They're known to have fragile firing pins.
