What year were these manufactured?

The year varies, but Kimber "Meprolight" will not ship any that are more then two years old! Kimber told me that they simply recycle the ampules of tritium and that they only ship fresh units! Mine were dated less then four months! They claim a 15 year life span, so that's something to count for these sights! Keep in mind they need a sight pusher to remove the old sights and to install the new ones! Also note that it will take some hand fitting, and still require quite a bit of force to install! Done correctly, these are some of the tightest and most secure sights out there, and they are bright, without being a distraction!!!!

These will start to get noticeably dimmer after about 7 or 8 years. I was disappointed to receive a set that were made in October 2013 when I ordered these in April 2015. Already 1.5 years gone in a product with a useful life of 8 years.

If I recall correctly my package had a date of 2012 on it. I installed last year and still going strong.

Apparently their should be a letter under the rear sight that designates a year. Like the tenth digit in a VIN number. I don't have my gun on me at the moment but will check. I guess the letter s is 2009, t is 2010 etc..

Not really sure but they seem to be well made. Installation was easy and they look good. Hope this helps.

Not sure but they look and work perfectly. I've bought two so far to replace factory ones that died of old age. No complaints.

I don't see were it says that but it's most likely the date of manufacture. I got a set of these a while back (2011) and each individual battery has the date (01-2021) stamped on them. 10 year shelf life. ^_^

I am not 100% sure but I think somewhere in CT. I bought these a long time ago.

I purchased them quite a while ago, as a gift, had no complaints about them. I didn't look at the date. Sorry!

I purchased mine in Dec. '14 and they are made in China and they are awesome, don't fret it one second.

2007-2012, I bought them and they look awesome on my z71. I've had several coworkers remove their original bed caps and get these after they saw mine

I don't know what year it was manufactured. But warranty starts from the date of purchase, not the year it was manufactured. At least that is my understanding.

Reading the reviews it looks like someone posted in 2008 that they were USA made. However, a 1-star complaint said that they were made in china, that was in 2012. Also, all the "complaints" 1 - stars, are in late 2011 to 2012.These may not be manufactured in the USA anymore, and are now cheap.. junk.

I am sorry, but I do not know. They have been around for at least 40 years, so I am inclined to think they are made in USA.
