1899 for a Colt lightning .22 mag rifle.
Approximately 1997...My CMH002xxx was made in 1994. ALL CMH... rifles were made after President Clinton, and were all considered "Post-Ban" rifles. For Colt, this means that all CMH rifles were made WITHOUT flash-suppressors and bayonet lugs. You can directly inquire to COLT, if you need a closer accuracy.
