Iv'e noticed, after a bolt action has been set up this way, holding the trigger while closing the bolt, the bolt is extremely hard to lift to re****. So much so that it seems like it's maybe not a good idea. Lifting the bolt handle to **** it normally doesn't take near this much effort. If it is ok to dry fire at all, I would think that would be the way to release the tension on the firing pin spring for long or short term storage. .................. John
