It would seem like a design flaw. One OUGHT to be able to use any detachable-magazine (including floorplate-type) rifle without the magazine in case the latter is lost or damaged. (This is why I object to self-loading pistols with magazine-release safeties - one of the strengths of the "automatic" over a revolver is that you can have one up in the breech and hot to trot if you must reload in potentially hostile territory.)
