To determine the age of your CIL Model 402 with the serial number 542203, you would need to check the production year associated with that serial number. Typically, manufacturers provide information on how to decode the serial number to find the manufacturing date. If you cannot find this information, you may want to contact the manufacturer directly or consult forums and resources dedicated to CIL products for assistance.

My brother has a cil 830 in a 222, if its the same you pull the bolt back as far as it will go to the butt of the gun and then press the trigger to release it the rest of the way . Hope this helps.
The root "cil" means to unite.
