Default RE: Dry Firing

No, dry firing a modern rifle will, in no way, damage anything inside the gun. That little thin piece of brass we call a primer does nothing to slow down the firing pin or protect it in any way. The only time the firing pin stops is when the shoulder of the firing pin makes contact with the shoulder inside the bolt body.
