I just installed some ejector upgrade kits from SSS. Man what a huge improvement. Couldn't be happier. My question is should I store my rifles without a snap cap closed in the chamber? I guess I am questioning whether doing so would compact the springs behind the extractor/ejector and overtime will shorten their life or weaken them some? Other than my three Savage 14's all my other bolt rifles are CRF mauser types so I hadn't given it much thought until I installed the upgrade kits.
