The X-5 Lightning was the first rifle made by Ithaca. It is a semi-automatic .22 cal rim-fire, and was made between 1958 - 1964. They came with a clip that held either 7 or 12 shells, or a tubular magazine that held 16 rounds. The X-15 was an "improved" version made between 1964 - 1967, and only came with a clip.
Ithaca produced this model between 1958 and 1964.

The age of an Ithaca X5 Lightning can be determined by its serial number, as Ithaca Gun Company produced these shotguns in specific ranges during certain years. Generally, if you have the serial number, you can refer to production records or online databases to find the year it was made. Keep in mind that the Ithaca X5 Lightning was produced primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, so most models will fall within that timeframe.
