My shooting student and double gun mentor Joe Wood taught me that snap caps were needed when dry firing Parker ejector guns in order to load up the ejectors. Otherwise I would be dry firing the ejectors. He also taught me I can load up the ejectors with a thumb as I am opening the Parker if no snap caps are available. Slightly painful though.
I agree with Stan's statement about storing guns with coil mainsprings - not necessary to store them in the fired position in my estimation.
