Field Stripping A Rifle

After watching that, the first thing to pop into my mind was a scene from Forrest Gump

 

"GUUMMP! Why did you assemble your weapon so quickly?"

 

"Because you told me to Drill Seargent."

I used to be able to do that with a U S Rifle Caliber Thirty M-1 (Garand)... blindfolded... and in about the same time. The M-1 Carbine took twice as long and I needed my eyes to do it.

 

I still remember how but the speed is gone and I need both eyes now.

Forty Rod,

I used to be able to disassemble and reassemble my Garand, my M1 Carbines and my 1911 blindfolded 20 years ago. Not sure I could do it now if I still had them. My daughter has the Garand and the 1911. I sold the carbines just before Billy Clinton imposed the ban. If I had waited one week I would have made a nice profit on them.

 

Not sure why that was important to me then. I wasn't in the military at the time.

No offense, 10 Chain, but I have a feeling you weren't anywhere near as cute!

When I saw the title included "Field Stripping" I can just imagine the left hand turns this thread will be taking in the Saloon.
