So I'm new to the side charging game. When my bolt locks back on my empty mag is there a way to gently release the bolt back home? So far, the only way to send it back is by pressing the bolt release, and it seems excessive on an empty mag.

Are you afraid you're going to break it by letting it just fly home?

Remove mag, ride bolt home, replace mag.
Hold bolt knob, depress bolt release, ride bolt home. |

Excessive? No. It's normal. There is no reason to release the bolt slowly.
Sure you could remove the mag, pull the charging handle until bolt catch drops, and ride the charging handle home... but why? |
