old, I just got a bunch of remingtons from the early 80's. Some new in the box. I can't believe the difference in quality. The triggers are so nice right from the factory. Breaks better than that Sako even. Blueing is so deep. Not like todays where you can see grain brush marks from milling on the barrel and all.
So when you say latter, do you mean older or newer?
Newer models have heavier springs and yes the older triggers are better made..in fact their may be one on Ebay while I am typing this.
