Brad93 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 A mate has suggested i get some snapcaps, and release the tension on the hammer springs before putting the gun in the cabinet for any amount of time. I'm just scanning the beretta manual and can't see anything about it? Any knowledge would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Oh no, here we go again. Your mate is a wind up merchant, (or a gun dealer..??). He'll be telling you next to jack up your car at nights to take the pressure off the suspension springs. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad93 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 So its not worth decocking the hammers? Or just do it without the snap caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) Dont bother mate. I was sold some when I bought my AYA, and they are a waste of time. Springs are meant to be kept under tension or they tend to go weak (I think). Dont waste your money, buy something useful instead Edited July 13, 2010 by SSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I have read the long threads and I do use them. My digestion of the argument was that it will likely do no good, but definitely no harm. On that balance I spent a fiver! I sometimes fire my gun against the snap caps in practice as it gives something for the firing pins to hit.

Colster Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 So its not worth decocking the hammers? Or just do it without the snap caps? Don't do it without snapcaps! That really can cause damage. Either leave it cocked or use snaps and fire both barrels, my guns tend to be rather elderly (cos I don't use a shotty much so it tends to be a cheapy) so I do use them but I'm not convinced they really help that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
