Sometimes I do remove the nipples if I am likely to do a lot of dry firing, especially when working on an action. Other times I simply remove the cylinder and fire away. That saves wear and tear on the cylinder bolt notches.

Gee guys, I'm glad for the additional support...

Oh was I supposed to mail a check? I'll have to get right on that.. Look for a slip of birch bark ok? If you prefer I can make it out for bannanas and or clams..

(sniff) But they said I'd get what I had coming...

 

[Macmac]

clams in postal and "(sniff)", could be somewhat less than desireable

 

[Old Fuff]

You have a good point...
