LR55 - I would be hesitant to cycle the action of an AR without the firing pin installed. The firing pin is what keeps the cam pin correctly oriented, and without it, the cam pin can rotate at the worst of times, creating a locked bolt condition.
ETA: Here is a link to a thread where this issue is discussed in detail due to some unfortunate who made the mistake of function checking their AR without a firing pin.
[ARCHIVED THREAD] - bolt stuck, firing pin out, need help

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
