The post 64 New Haven guns were always a crap shoot and the ones sold in the last 5 years the NH plant was open were pretty bad almost across the board.
Pre 64's have mistique, but many are full of tool marks, have crappy triggers and have poorly designed stocks. All the pre 64 guns I have had did shoot very well, but I have only owned 3 of them.
The old style trigger on the post 64's was a MIM'ed piece of junk. Even after it was tuned they never felt that great. I replace them with Jewells, which feel perfect and have been 100% reliable for me under all sorts of conditions going back to the late 90's.
I'd take a FN gun any day over a post 64 new Haven gun and also over many pre 64's.
