<strong>Hey Ron, In my early days (a long time ago as you know) I was able to open the toggle and raise the holdopen device with a finger when no magazine was immediately available...
But don't try this at home kids... it is NOT recommended because I also remember the number of times that it wasn't as secure as I had hoped and the pain caused by the extractor as it tried to engage my finger when the bolt closed unexpectedly... OUCH! </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Kind of like trying to close the bolt of a Broomhandle Mauser with an empty magazine...
