Is it ok to let the bolt slam home on an empty chamber? I know with some weapons it is inadvisable because stripping a round off slows the bolt enough not to cause any damage to the weapon. Thanks in advance.

You're not going to hurt anything.

It won’t hurt anything, but it’s just as easy to ride the bolt home on an empty chamber using the charging handle.
