I'm sure this has been asked before on here, but my Google search isn't coming up with a lot of info. I just bought a 16s with the SN LC 10358 and the Fredericksburg VA engraving. What I'm seeing is that's a fairly old rifle. Is there a way to get an idea of production off that?

If it helps mine is serial LC 23xxx and I purchased it new in 2012. Yours was probably made somewhere in the 2009-2011 time frame.

That is a very early rifle. Serials started with LC10000. 2009 should be correct

Call FN CS on Monday and give them the S/N. Since it was imported from Belgium, they won't be able to tell you exactly when it was built, but can tell you when it was received in the US.
