gibby Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Depends how often you are using your gun, if daily nai bother with them, but i suppose they cant hurt, but all shotgins in shops are stored without them so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHARLY Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi It all depends how much you use your gun, if you are storing it for weeks at a time it is best to relieve the tension from the main springs with snap caps. Don`t be tempted to pull the triggers without caps though because pins are about 3 times the price of springs. some people are averese to the use of caps as accidents do happen and some have loaded live shells by mistake! I use caps in my guns unless they`re being used regularly. Hope this helps , Charly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenlander Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 IMHO a waste of time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Used every time the gun is stored. IMHO money(very little) well spent. Enzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 IMHO a waste of time and money. I agree with Fenlander - I have a 22 year old Beretta, used weekly, never bothered with snapcaps, never had a main spring or ejector problem. They're a bit like Pigeon whistles - good for catching newcomers to the sport. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
