| Does anyone know where I can get a dry fire cartridge for my AR? |
| isn't it the bolt catch that gets damaged? never had that problem, but have seen it posted and responded to several times...Magpul has the best deal if you can find them in stock - 5 for $5, i think - everyone else sells the snap caps, 2 for $11 or something. A poster said he made his own - brass case with a bullet loaded, no charge, though. That would be less expensive, but you might want to paint it a different color. |

The bolt catch issue is only if you're dry firing without the upper attached. |

Damage can occur to the bolt catch, only if the hammer is released with the upper and lower separated. Dry firing an assembled weapon is fine. |
