snap caps

It's as broad as it is long, by firing on snap caps you can argue it's straining you're ejectors.

Absolutely, cocked, shut, barrel down and locked in the cabinet. I bought a best pair when I started but as Clever notes they soon stop working as intended since the striker dents the centre despite my one having soft springs inside it. i read somewhere years ago that guns stored cocked for fifty years have been fired with zero issues.

If snap caps are essential then why don't all the guns in gun shops have them fitted? Vic.

I agree with Claycruncher, once the pins are released onto the caps the ejectors are then under pressure, 6 of 1 and 1/2 dozen of the other. I have snap caps with oily mops on to keep my Browning chambers from getting browner but I leave the pins under pressure.

If you are convinced that snap caps are a good thing, and they relieve the tension on your hammer springs.May I ask do you remove the road springs on your car overnight or jack the car up off all four wheels?/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gifIf you live in Liverpool I know the answer is Yes, but you have no choice, correct?/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif
