| am I doing any damage to my WASR10 by dry firing? |

Quoted:
Some people will say "Yes". Some people will say "No". My suggestion: Snap Caps. That way you don't have to figure out who is right.  +1 Snap caps are always a good idea for testing actions. They're cheap. I would not suggest dry firing by removing the bolt, the hammer will batter the center support, possibly damaging either or both. |

Phoenixx––
A Snap-Cap is just a type of dummy round (sometimes an action-proving round) that has a small slug of a polymer compound in the primer pocket (A-Zoom, etc.), or with some (Pachmyer, for example), a small brass cup in the pocket with a spring inside the cartridge body. The idea is simply to give the firing pin something resilient to hit, eliminating any possible shock damage to the pin. |
