And by that, I mean working the operating rod handle manually to eject, and to charge a fresh round. It will not damage a rifle with the M14 (M1A) gas system. Just as a point of reference, in M1/M14 (M1A) nomenclature, manual re-cocking means working the triggerguard like a lever action to cock the hammer. I don't...
