Hi I have a colt 1991 and I was wondering if anybody knows how I could find out when it was manufactured, serial #2781758

You would probably have to contact Colt on that. None of my books go past the 70 Series.

My last listed serial is 579xx for 1978, must be newer than that.

Thanks for trying I appreciate it. DO you know how I could find out? I am new to the 45 so I am behind on a lot with it.

I checked a couple websites and their numbers stop where mine do. Colt is the only other place I can think of until somebody comes out with an updated list. Most seem to stop in 1978.
