Have you contacted Lowey Products? http://www.loweyproducts.com


I asked them about 6 months ago and they said they were working on it.
Maybe they have them by now.

Whoa,

In a spooky coincidence, I just got an email from Lowey's about 30 mins after my previous post saying that they are going into production this weekend.

Pretty sure it's not going to wreck it. I done it quite a few times on my BL-22 lowering the hammer when it slipped out of my hand. Just don't make a habit of it I would suggest.
Browning BL-22 lever action...open sights
T3 Varmint .204 Ruger...Meopta Meostar 4-16X44
T3 Lite .30-06 Sprg...Aimpoint Hunter 1X red dot

....that will do me

Just not if in .22lr

It's in .22, put through maybe 500 rounds and miss counted twice and saw no dings or dints or anything

Dry firing won't directly damage anything as the firing pin doesn't pass the bolt face to hit anything, but, it's not good practice to have one hardened metal part impacting another.

Normally the pin would hit the brass case and the case would absorb the impact. With the pin being arrested by the bolt instead the pin could break from the impact.

Accidentally firing on an empty chamber won't be a problem. But I wouldn't routinely do it.
