Same, same here.  On our L1A1 SLRs, I can still carry out safety
procedures/instant actions (on misfiring), disassembly, cleaning and
re-assembly in my sleep, from over 40 years ago.  OTOH, I can't remember much
about the Steyr AUG since I fired it during one range shoot only in my last
year prior to retiring (as a civil servant) in '93.

Must've been a M-14.  It ain't anything like an AR-16/Colt.

Cheers,
Paul.
