Not sure on the year. It's been in storage for 8 years. Had it setup for about 5 years, never used. Not enough space. The lady I bought it from was a professional longarmer, not sure how long she had it. She was selling because of a move to Canada. It works great and she took excellent care of it. It's a basic machine, but complete with everything it came with. I bought the handles that are lower and closer to the head for better control. And one of those snapper leader systems. Both brand new and never used.
