How about December '35 or early January 1936 prior to official adoption of the rifles on Jan 9.

I'm not positive that the receiver stamping followed the official nomenclature.

Without consulting ANYTHING, I'd guess sometime between August of 1945 and June of 1950. The semiautomatic distinction became meaningless after we quit making all those secondary-standard bolt guns.
