The receivers on the late 60's/early 70's were crap. Also in the late 70's they introduced the rebounding hammer and got rid of the half cock hammer. Trigger pull suffers greatly. But they had fixed the receivers by then. At some point they added the tang mounted safety and then later switched to the cross bolt safety. Both suck. I'm not sure of exact years of changes.
