Now that I have my new Geissele Match trigger I would like to know if it is necessary to use a "snap cap" or anything when "dry firing" the AR-15?

Dry fre device
There is a dry firing device for the AR platform. It is plastic (probably delran) that inserts inside the bolt carrier to block the firing pin from being struck. It also prevents the hammer from going very far so all you have to do to recock is barely move the bolt back. Makes dry firing very painless on you and the rifle. Believe you can get these through Sinclair Intl.

The ONLY benefit of the dry fire device is a shorter pull to reset the trigger.
If you are worried about "pain" for your center fire rifle during dry fire you are uninformed.

These work great if you are testing triggers on a regular basis or buy a kit and it is worth saving the nail on your finger. http://www.plastixrevolution.net/pro...-trigger-block
