My guess is that's the year they made the trunnions, but who knows? If they did actually assemble them all in 2006, that would certainly explain why the latest one that I received was no better than the first two when it comes to reliability. 13 years is a long time to keep something in inventory. Given the issues with the 5.56x45 models, they certainly would have had plenty of time to rework them.
