I just bought my daughter a CZ 527 Youth Carbine (.223) for her birthday, and she dry-fired it a few times. I had always thought that modern rifles were OK for dry-firing, but my brother said that he had a friend with a different modern Mauser-action rifle had broken his pin dry-firing (the CZ is a small Mauser-action). For now, no dry-firing.
Does anyone know if dry-firing is damaging the firing pin?
