I have no idea why Cabelas put that description up there...mine, and after checking with people here who have them ,none have a date on them...Canadianicon importers, last I checked, are not required to stamp a dated code on guns, but having said that, it has been a long time since I checked LOL!

Again, thanks so much for ll the feedback. I appreciated it. And I have decided to just leave it alone :~) When I bought it, it was with the intention to just leave it in the box as a collector.
