First off, let me say I love my M1. It's a CMP SA SG, probably manufactured around 1955.
It's beautiful to gaze upon, and a joy to hold. Wish I could meet a female who meets that description.
My question is, once I've unloaded it, after a fondling session, and I gently close the bolt, I dry fire it to release the tension on the spring. How bad for the rifle is this? Should I just leave it cocked on the empty chamber, or is that even worse than dry firing it?
