I have my own theory about the origins of this advice, probably only based on hearsay and misremembered facts. Didn't the Webley Omega start out with a PTFE seal too and did the advice originally pertain to that rifle??

The 45 dry firing advice has been around as long back as I can remember, could more than likely have been Cardrew or Bowkett.
