Top Spins on Rifle - How to color guard

A top spin becomes a little more complicated since rifles are not particularly balanced for spinning upside down. This is much easier to do with a curve or a sickle rifle.
     Begin by turning the rifle upside down (strap up and bolt down) and pointing the nose to the right. Assume the position that you would for a right flat, with the right hand underneath the barrel and the left hand on top of the upturned butt. Push down with the left hand and spin by catching the rifle on top of the barrel with the butt end pointing at the ground.
     To achieve the same spin on the left hand turn the rifle upside down just as before, but hold it as if you are in left flat, with the left hand underneath the top of the butt, and the right hand on top of the screw. Push down with the right hand and spin by catching the rifle at the top of the neck with the tip of the rifle pointed downward. Again, these spins are best practiced in a mirror.
