It's a damn shame for an American firearms company to treat a customer that way. I just went to their website looking for an e-mail address to send them a link to this thread. I couldn't find an email address. I did see a note that said due to the popularity of their 2017 models wait times for customer service calls are longer than usual.
Think about that for a second.
I do recall a few Kimber Hunter threads on other forums. Since Kimber says the OPs rifle works the way it should, I am going to show them what a normal Kimber does.

Anyone want to help me spread the word? Post up your results if you do!
