Re: Do you regularly dry fire your rifles?
Very rarely will I dry fire any of my center fires , the rim fires I try to never dry fire. Was surprised to read in the manual for my wifes new Ruger SR-22 that dry firing it was perfectly OK . Not sure what is different about it but it does help a beginner practice more effectively 8) Being a Ruge...

Re: Marlin .357 WITHOUT Safety?
If I'm not mistaken , Marlin rifles always had a safety . Hammer at the 1/2 cock notch .
From what I've read , the x-bolt stuff started around '83-'84 .
I think that you should send that dangerous .357 to me , I'll make sure that even without the lawyer safety it will stay in a safe loving home .
