| I have been doing some dry firing and charge the gun often. Will the constant "slam" against the chamber by the bolt hurt the chamber or bolt over time? I heard you don't want to Ride the Charging Handle and just let it go. Any comments for me? Thanks! |

I dry fire about 200x more than I actually fire, and my bolts have never failed me. In my limited personal experience, it's not a problem. It's probably more stress, but not so much that your rifle can't handle it. If you're concerned, get yourself a MP tested bolt. |
