will not cycle, not enough gas pressure to cycle the action with out the adapter.
And yeah if you got close enough it will kill things. DO NOT go around shooting your friends with blanks you will have fewer friends afterwards for one reason or another.
relax about it.
Its not a critical dimension, its only cosmetic.
actually I take that back, its pure junk. It is not in spec and thus useless. I will buy it off you for $20 since I need a good paper weight.:)

its about $160 for the arms and it can be easy or hard depending on the receiver and how close it is to USGI spec.
In M14 mounts you want to get a good quality one the first time.

You can easily strip...
i think the receiver is aluminum which would mean anodizing is the toughest way to go. But it takes working with acids and rigging your own setup which isnt terribley difficult. I dont belive Al will blue since it dosen't rust like steel does.
But for a quick touch up have you thought about...
