Your rifle will be 1943.

Production ended near 1,100,000 in mid- late 1944.

Rather than adding anothe digit in front of the C letter prefix, they went back to 0c and added a 5th digit after the letter prefix.

I was guessing it would be somewhere in '43. So it's basically a stamp that failed to properly stamp? Interesting.
