What is best rest position for my M2.

[bonoiam]

I have a quick question.

 

What is best when storing a gun when not is use?

 

Should it be dry fired to place the firing pin in a rest position, or just leave it in the ready to go position?

 

Are snap caps the way to go? Is it ok to fire on a snap cap?

 

Sorry for the newbie questions and thanks for the replies.

I don't think it makes a whole lot difference, but others say it does.

There's definitely no harm, and there may be some benefit, so...

 

Store them with spring relaxed.

Never had a problem with dry firing without snap caps.

If they make you feel better about doing it, then buy them.
