u/Q-Ball7 In the end, it's taxes all the way down Apr 21 '26

Put a piece of paper between the bolt and chamber face, close the action, pull the trigger.  If the firing pin doesn’t punch a hole in the paper, it’s fine (the extractors will usually leave marks but that’s normal); if it does, use a snap cap or similar.

Most modern designs, like the TM22, are perfectly fine to do this with.
