Sure, but don't forget to fix the reason for the ding.

Jim, I know you're right but I've seen this occur in many modern semi auto weapons too that some people think it's ok to dry snap. I can't say how late of a model I've seen it happen but 70's and 80's at least. It just seems like a simple fix for the manufacturer not to correct. I wonder if enough rounds has been pumped through it, is it possible for transference through the case rim to cause reoccurence. Probably not, just a passing thought.
