The condition of the Kimbers was very good in general, I think the worst you can expect is noticeable warpage in the stock and a bolt in need of a good soaking and new $6 spring. All four bolts are an inch deep in WD40 right now, tomorrow will reveal if they will need a new spring or not. The other two, (also the tightest grouping guns) have some rust that will need to be removed. Rust on the bolts varied greatly, two of mine have none or close to none. I will report when I get out to the range and try them with some CCI std, Eley Sport, and Wolf. Also, many of the stocks show signs of minor warp-age which I think will change their performance substantially unless they are bedded. I think they were shot originally with Eley. These are all quite impressive though I will be surprised if they will still do this after all this time and with more affordable mid priced ammo. Marked group sizes varied from 9.60mm at 50 yd to about 10.90mm. I simply bought the four best though I am not sure this was the optimal strategy, two do not have very pretty stocks. Interestingly, each also bore a sticker on the front of the stock revealing its tested group size. The bore looked perfect on all the ones I saw. If you are thinking about getting one, the time is now.īy the way, none of the 50 rifles I saw on the rack today had any significant rust on or in the barrel or receiver. Gaunteed the rifles that make it to GB over the next bunch of months, are the rifles from this sale, as there are no limits on how many you can get from the CMP, short of the yearly limit of 12. I have an order in, and I have received my "Don't Bother Us" email (DBU), so I should be getting a rifle from this last hoorah.
They have been leaving the stores on average of 40 to 50 a day. Very few have reposted rust, and what may be confused as rust is actually the dehydrated preservative on the rifle.Īt the begining of the October, Orest reported that there were only 2,000 rifles available the last of their kind from the CMP. Some of the reports coming from the sales floor state that the rifles are in excellent shape, with only the minor scratch down one side of the stock or barrel. I would definitely buy through someone willing to tell me what the bore looks like. I think I will skip the chance of an immediate re barrel thanks.
