It was a bad design and should have been pinned. The biggest problem issue with the new production guns was the screw at the muzzle end to retain the vent rib. 500 pre-64 parts and receivers) to the Custom Shop as a high $$$ special order gun like they did with the M21's in 1959. The model 12 (New Haven made) was never discontinued until they ended it again as a production gun. Model 21's had a W' model 70's had a G and so on with other guns. No one calls the other Winchester models by the prefix number just the M12's. They skipped several serial numbers when they re-introduced as a production gun (investment cast receivers and other parts). The cast receiver guns were cataloged in 1972, and not in the 1973 catalog. There was pre-64 forged steel machined receivers used up to and after 1968.
The ATF 1968 Gun Control Act required that an alpha letter be at the beginning of the serial number. Y had nothing to do with how many were made.
