Assuming the pistol still has it's cylinders the date should be stamped on them (legally required as it is a pressure vessel). LP1 started in (or around 1990) and LP10 started in 1999.

Thats great if you want to know the date of the cylinders, I have the original cylinders and they are six months apart. The cylinder dates don't mean a lot as to the manufacture date of the pistol.

In fact if you have an early (1990-6) LP1 you shouldn't even be using the original CA cylinders any more and should dispose of them so you don't accidently use them.

Not quite sure why you quoted me as I have a LP10 2000-2001 vintage. I thought the last I heard from Scott P was that the cylinders are good for 15 years (could be wrong)

Sorry Richard. Just that your comment reminded me about the discussion on cylinder lifetime from an earlier thread.

I seem to recall Scott saying 10 years (I could be wrong as well)
