I don't think I've ever heard more than conspicuous jibber jabber and raving of how the "post 64" rifles are junk and the pre-64's are better... so my question is can you list what one should be looking for. �

Then
shooters saw only that the earliers were being sought, and prices rising, and assumed that the issue was quality.
