Why do you have to wait to wax a car with a new paint job?

Waiting to Wax a New CarBy waxing a new paint finish you are trapping the solvents that have not yet evaporated. Trapping the solvents can lead to blistering, refered to as "Solvent Popping" Although a paint finish may dry to the touch in a short time, the paint does not reach its complete hardness until all solvents have escaped. For the first polishing, I recommend using a polish that does not contain wax or silicones. These products are referred to in the industry as "Body Shop Safe". 3M Imperial Hand Glaze is good product for this but requires a lot of elbow grease. It hides all swirls, rags marks, etc, but will not trap solvents.

Can you dry fire a marlin 917m2?

Bad idea. The 17 Hornady Magnum is a rimfire round. If you dry fire it, the firing pin will fall where the rim of the cartridge would be. If there is no cartridge, the firing pin will slam into the edge of the chamber. Eventually, you will peen a dent into the edge of the chamber. Do this enough, there will be no metal underneath where the firing pin lands, making for unreliable ignition when a cartridge is present. Put a spent case in the chamber to protect the chamber before you dry fire it, if you must do this.
