It varies a bit between lenses, since some have a tighter fit than others -- but the bottom line is that any Nikon DSLR with an aperture indexing tab (anything above the baby series, except the Df, which has a flip-up tab like the '70s era F3 and FM/FE) can be easily damaged by mounting a non-AI lens. *If* you've got a reasonably forgiving lens, and *if* the person using it knows what the possible point of interference is, it can work.
The caveats are really important, which is why multiple people in this thread have been reluctant to recommend the practice for those who don't understand the mechanism. What's worse is for someone to gloss over this fact when they should know better just to sell a lens quickly to another novice, which is what it sure looks like the OP has said he intends to do.
