If I were to suppress a Kimber, or any other factory rifle, I wouldn't trust the factory threads to be concentric with the bore and would have it cut off and re-threaded. I've only shot my suppressor on about a dozen factory threaded rifles.... without any issue at all. I guess I play it safer than you.

I will not buy a rifle without a threaded barrel. Getting into suppressors is not a hassle...just a long wait. I know guys who spend much more on scopes than I have in suppressors. Makes shooting much more fun. I'm glad to see more manufacturers are getting into the threaded game. If I don't want to shoot suppressed, just screw the thread protector on it.

and did you bother to check alignment before chopping off those pesky factory threads?

.300 Black Out Kimber with an 18" barrel suppressed
Now that's my kind of back pack elk hunting rifle

So by a 6.5lb rifle with provision to screw a weight on the end of it? That is exactly how stupid the buying public and gun manufactures have become.

Yes..... because that 12oz serves a purpose. If you don't own/shoot/hunt a suppressor..... then you have NO idea what you're missing.

I personally could care less what the rifle looks like with the thread protector. It's a tool! Not a work of art. Last week on Kodiak I used my Montana to anchor a tarp over a bear hide over night in a storm to keep the tarp from flying away.
The only bummer about the threaded barrel truly is the increase in MSRP. To get worked up on the aesthetics of a hunting rifle like a Montana seems silly to me.

There is pending legislation to remove suppressors from the NFA. One will buy them just like a firearm...no more $200 tax or federal waiting period... If that happens they will be on a LOT of guns....

Bob If and only if that happens the price for a suppressor will fall. They were sub $200 in South Africa in 2014

I hope it passes. I'm currently awaiting the papers to come back on three. I understand the thought process too.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Wow you're a tough guy. Please tell me then how a light weight mountain rifle (and yes some of us hunt Elk, Moose, and sheep in the mountains) benefits so greatly from a 12 oz can screwed to the end of it? Not to mention the added length.

I found a use for the threaded barrel.... Take the end cap off...drop said tarp/grommet over the barrel and sinch it down tight with the nut!! The knurled knob will probably hold pink tape better too
