Is it OK to dry fire these guns by cycling the bolt and pulling the trigger or does it damage them?

Hi

The 853 / 753 can be dry fired by cycling the bolt. It's a feature of the gun. I have no idea on the 747 having never held one.

On the 747, just cycle the bolt...that is what I did.

On the 747 all you are doing when dry firing is opening a valve. Do it all day long and that is fine. As with anything mechanical I supose there is a small amount of wear but it is going to be very little. I dry fire them a bunch with no problems so far after a few years.
