| just wondering if dry firing a 10 22 is a no no or not. Saw S&W said dry firing their .22 pistols/revolvers is a no no but dry firing their other cals is ok. Just wondering if you couldnt dry fire a .22 or 10 22 to avoid damage to the firing pin |

Why not just get snap caps and it becomes a non issue.

| The Ruger owner's manual for 10/22's used to say (and may still) that it okay to dry fire them. The firing pin is made with a stop, or dogleg, in it that contacts the inside of the bolt to stop the firing pin before the tip makes contact with the chamber (which happens in some models/types of .22 rimfires and results in damage to the firing pin tip and/or the chamber mouth.) |

I keep a small cup.full of spent brass that I use if I'm going to be doing lots of dryfiring with a rim fire. Ditto, I also have a small box of plastic drywall anchors (I forget what size) that work pretty well, even extract with the bolt. Oooooooohhhh yeah. Thanks for the tip! |
