| I have a Winchester 94ae trapper in .44 mag. It has a crossbolt style safety. Any reason not to dry fire it? the trigger still releases the hammer when the safety is on, but it looks like it blocks the hammer from impacting, should I dry fire with the safety on? Thanks gents. |
I'm no Winchester expert but I would use snap caps if you want to dry fire.Having the hammer hit the Safety every time can't be a good thing,sooner or later something is going to get peened and break. I would go with snap caps final answer. Edit to add - It seems Winchesters are prone to breaking the firing pin if dry fired with out snap caps. Just Google "dry fire a 1894 Winchester" tons of info and opinions. Edit 2 - just noticed 5000  |
