Not gonna quote the entirety of the relevant parts of The Book*, but Interarms production, first at Ranger, then at Black Creek, both in Gadsden, Alabama, and both part of Mid South Industries, started in 1979 and ended in 1999.

For more details, see aforementioned book:

That's the info. I was looking for. Thanks.

I take it that's the book to own if you're into Walther Pistols?

Not an expert, but Interarms didn't do a great job keeping track of dates of manufacture. The best way to find out your date is if you're lucky enough to have a dated test target with your gun. There is a forum on here where people have posted their serial numbers with test target date to give a general idea. All that being said, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along shortly. Also that's a nice price considering the quality. I got mine for $525 with no case or papers, but 1 pinky mag and 2 flat bottom mags. Hope she's a flawless shooter. Had some hammer follow issues with mine out of the gate.

Thanks.
I'm just trying to figure out when Interarms starting making them in the US (vs. Importing) & when they stopped.
