Dry Fire Chapuis Elan or Iphisi

[roverandbrew]

Based off a Chapuis e-mail found online they recommend not using snap caps in their double rifles. Dry firing is recommended. Can anyone confirm they read this the same way. AI research also confirmed no snap caps.

This is the MS Co-Pilot answer on dry fire vs snap caps

Is it advisable to dry fire a Chapuis double rifle rather than use snap caps?

Perplexity said the Elan / Iphisi were to be fired without. Weird the difference.

 

[roverandbrew]

Perplexity pulled the e-mail off AH and used the Chapuis site. I am not convinced its ok so dry fire the Iphisi.

After a deep dive I believe the Agex action requires snap caps.

Can confirm as that email was written to me.

No idea about other chapuis - mine was bought used and I cant see any markings about model apart from 'progress' on the foreend

I truly appreciate your response on this. I spoke with the Beretta gallery today and they are under the impression no snap caps on the Agex action (Elan and Iphisi).

Youve fu**ed it, only thing to do is bring it to zambia and leave it with me to use as a boat paddle now.

 

[roverandbrew]

A boat paddle it will need to be as I am sure @spike.t has not fixed that boat engine yet! I am making a plan to get over shortly.

I talk to JJ and he said that there are absolutely no problems dry firing the Chapuis with quality aluminum snap caps from places like NECG!
