ETA: I see, you meant dry-fire.
Still not sure how you'd do it, though. |

Yes. I'm not talking about firing a live round. Dry fire with a cable/rope lock on it.

I don't know why you would, but no.

Dry firing without the upper...allowing the hammer to strike the bolt release/back of the maxwell... is never a good idea.

Sounds like a bad idea with no reward.

I'm talking about an unloaded, full rifle with a cable/rope lock. You can still dry fire it. Dry firing JUST the lower without the upper is always a no-no. |

How is the rope lock attached? This is how it is supposed to be: <a href="http://s1377.photobucket.com/user/zackmarrs/media/Mobile%20Uploads/40110000_zpsxxwokl5k.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah77/zackmarrs/Mobile%20Uploads/40110000_zpsxxwokl5k.jpg</a> You will not be able to fire the rifle with a rope lock Quote HistoryQuoted:

That's what I'm talking about. If you put a lock like that on your rifle, take it off safety and try pulling the trigger. The hammer releases. Click. I'm asking if doing that is in any way bad or can harm your firearm. |

Why? Just take the lock off if you want to dry fire. And throw the lock in the trash while you're at it.

Injust tried that with my rifle, and the trigger pull is completely different I see no point or reason to do this, just remove the lock |

I was simply curious whether it could hurt anything or not. Obviously, it's pointless and not something I do, but I was just wondering if there's any harm done to the rifle, not whether it's good idea or not to do.

Your hammer would be smaking into the bottom edge of the bolt carrier grounp instead of the rear of the firing pin. So...... yes, eventually it could perhaps Nick the hammer.
so technically yes, it's putting stress where it doesn't belong. Realistically no, the parts are steel and not able to move full travel. for derp avoidance , don't do it |

Also, for added safety with the rope lock, run it behind the trigger as well. That way you won't even be tempted to dry fire it with the lock on. |
