Charlie45,
   Your rifle was built in 1975 or 1976 depending on the actual serial number.  Here's a link to sight with the info.

Mine was a '79.

This site  http://armscollectors.com/sn/windates.htme  dates yours between '74 and '75.  It puts me at '78.  I don't know why they're different but at least you have a ball park figure.
