I've been a pre collector for a long time also and have used both pre and post rifles. If I had my druthers, BACO would start manufacturing their 70's with the original pre 64 trigger,I like the gas handling, shorter action features and weight of the current models. For the overall aesthetics and workmanship though I prefer the pre's by a wide margin

Men ocassionaly stumble over the truth from time to time but, most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.
