Do you think you could do this?

I was wondering how many of you think you could do this.

Do you think that you could put you A-5 together blindfolded? I think that I could as long as the Tombstone spring didn't come out. I don't think I would be able to screw the recievers together though.

Re: Do you think you could do this?

Im pretty good, but not that good. Not like they used to do in the army. You were required to know how to do this with the standard rifle.

Re: Do you think you could do this?

I don't think i'd be able to get past the cocking arm spring. Keeping it in place while putting the clams back together.

Re: Do you think you could do this?

If I completely took the trigger group apart there is no hope for me putting that back together blindfolded.

Re: Do you think you could do this?

Not only can I rebuild it blindfolded, I have replaced a teammates broken ratchet during a game and under fire.

Re: Do you think you could do this?

I have actually thought about making a vid of something like this for the 'OG.

The very basics....I think I might be able to do it. I've never taken apart the cyclone so I wouldn't mess with that. But yeah, the basics, I think I could.

Re: Do you think you could do this?

I think I could partially. I can strip it, clean it, and get it together in 10 minutes or less... depending on how bad the ints are....... but blind folded.... I'm sure I could get it apart... and I could get the powertube and bolts back in, but the ball detent and cocking arm would kill me...

Re: Do you think you could do this?

Yup. Done those YouTube shots so many times (and they still suck), that I know that marker all too well.
