According to this the M3A1 uses a hole in the bolt for the user to use their finger. Wouldn't this be problematic after firing even just one magazine? --AdAstra2009 14:48, 4 August 2012 (CDT)
- I was just wondering the same thing today. Can it be done with a bare hand? --Funkychinaman (talk) 22:44, 9 July 2014 (EDT)
