When my bolt is locked back with no magazine in the gun the bolt will release if the stock of the gun is lightly tapped on the floor.  Is this normal?  It occurs on all of the AR's I have tried it on.

I just tried it with an empty magazine in the gun and the bolt did not release.  So, I guess it is normal since there is nothing in the magazine well to keep the bolt release from releasing when it gets jarred.  So probably not a safety issue like I feared since a round cannot get chambered by accident by bumping the gun.

Normal.
