MichaelWells Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I have been using center fire designs for months. But I don’t have any idea about rimfires Recently I came to know that when we do dry fire in a rimfire rifles it ill affect the gun’s performance because of its brittle firing pins. If we do so how many rounds of dryfire will it take to affect the gun. Or is there any Gun Customization tricks to make it more reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COBrien Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I don't know what specific rimfire you're referring to, but if you're talking about a Ruger (of any type, as far as I know), it is safe to dry-fire them. Says so in the manual. Other manufacturers, though? You'd have to ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belt Fed Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Probably a spammer since a lot of sites make you post a couple times before you can post a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuckgaucho Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I'm more interested to know why rimfires by design end up with brittle firing pins vs centrefire rifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) The firing pin hits on the edge of the shell in rimfire. The firing pin is also hitting the edge of the chamber. That's what breaks firing pins on rimfire guns. It can also mess up the edge of the chamber where the rounds will get hung up and not chamber all the way.
