I can field strip and assemble the M-16 blind folded. ;-)

I can do it with my AR, but don’t need to. Since I installed the Osprey Defense piston system it runs 5000 rounds without needin’g cleaning, and then it’s mostly carb cleaner to the piston cup and piston, with a CLP wipe down of the bolt and carrier then back into action!

That was a requirement to pass boot camp in '74. I remember it was a timed test.

Why would you need to blind-fold an M16?

I can field strip with an M-16 while blindfolded before you can say “lackanookie!”

I went through the Infantry unit armorer’s course. We had to, strip, mix the parts, and only after all of the parts were in one pile, then we could reassemble and functions check:

1911 .45 pistol
M-16
M-203
M-60
M-2

All at once and blindfolded (1 hr time limit) in order to pass the class. I was prepping for going for my 18B but blew out my knee before I could get to Q course. Doubt I could do it today. I’d have to relearn the feel of some of the parts.
