Bad idea. The 17 Hornady Magnum is a rimfire round. If you dry fire it, the firing pin will fall where the rim of the cartridge would be. If there is no cartridge, the firing pin will slam into the edge of the chamber. Eventually, you will peen a dent into the edge of the chamber. Do this enough, there will be no metal underneath where the firing pin lands, making for unreliable ignition when a cartridge is present. Put a spent case in the chamber to protect the chamber before you dry fire it, if you must do this.
Answerwell if theres no round it wont do anything, but i guess itll click if that's what you meanyes
Marlin 31 is a shotgun. Marlin 81 is the rim fire .22.
Brophy's book on Marlin History has sn information.
I am not sure, but most of what I have read on the net leads me to believe that Marlin made National fire arms designs after National fire arms closed down. I have a National Fire arms 12 ga. pump, and it has absolutely no markings that indicate marlin had anything to do with it.
Hello, as for me I " smoke and dry " the Marlin.I do realize you asked how to " bake " the marlin but through my experience the marlin is very " chewy / rubbery "I'm from Hawaii and when we catch those monsters, number one way to prepare them is to smoke / dry them. Enjoy.
No. Even if they did, it wouldn't be safe to fire them.

Because that is what the Dry powder (or Dry Chem.) is made for.
If it's a C02 powered system then yes you can dry fire it. If it's a spring powered system the NO do not dry fire it. It will damage the system.
It should be marked on the barrel
Absolutely not!
