Tack, I've been a civilian for almost 43 years (ETS July 1969) and you expect me to remember anything?!!!

Nobody from the '60s remembers anything as they say...
Actually I carried the M14 most of my three years and the M16 only while in Vietnam. I got lots of training on the 14 and qualified as Expert then almost zero training on the 16, we never even qualified on it, just handed to us and "here it is". I loved it anyway and we all figured it out. Lots of free ammo to figure out where you were hitting too.
I got out at the same time my brother was drafted and I noticed they then had M16s in Basic Training at Ft. Bragg. I doubt SPORTS had come along at that time but can't say.
