Does dry firing a rifle for storing it damage the firing pin at all? Somewhere I heard/read it' s good to take the pressure off the spring. I know with handgun magazines it's the repetitive loading and unloading of the spring that weakens it. Not sure if it's the same with the firing pin spring in rifles and shotguns.
Then I was told modern guns are pretty durable and dry firing even multiple times (like with handgun practice) does not bother anything. What do you experts say?
Thanks for the responses.
