Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Kimber current production?

I got a K22 before they stopped

Yeah, but their Headquarters in NY was shutdown during Covid.

Sounds like they are revamping the montana again. I had to send one in for warranty work as the pillar broke free from the stock. They called today and they only have FDE painted montana stocks, from a 2022 model they haven’t released yet. I confirmed it wasn’t a hunter stock. So sounds like more changes in the works.

A FDE stock with black cerakote over stainless would be sweet

Thinking the same Grumman. I picked up KimPro Hunter earlier this year, in .270 with a god awful looking real tree or mossy oak something stock. Shoots fantastic so I think I'll have the stock painted FDE. I wish there were stocks available to buy for these things but I guess paint will have to do.

I have a new 84L Hunter stock I'll sell if you're interested. It's Northwood Brown which is a nicer color than the FDE. I have FDE too. Send me a PM if you're interested. FDE has been discontinued in both the 84M and 84L Hunter stocks.

Are Montana stocks available to purchase by any chance?

I only have a few prototype 84M stocks left that were made by a US vendor to replace the Costa Rica stocks.

As many already know, Montana, Mountain Ascent, Adirondack, Subalpine and Talkeetna stocks are no longer being made in Costa Rica and haven't been for a year or so. Kimber rifle production has been shut down entirely for the last six to eight months. A new stock vendor based in the US will be making rifle stocks once they've passed the approval process. This effort was started over two years ago when I worked for Kimber and is still ongoing. The US stocks are considerably more expensive than the Costa Rica stocks so expect to see a price jump on Montana, MA, etc. On the bright side, the new stocks should be more consistent. Kimber has had to replace a lot of the Costa Rica stocks over the years due to cracking, warping, swelling, voids, loose stud mounts, recoil pads, etc.

Do you have any photo's of the prototype 84M stocks? Are these the ones with more carbon fiber in them?

stock issues is why mine had to go back to them. It was brand new and one of the pillars was already loose in the stock. Sure, could of punched it out and repaired it, by why F with it and the void any warranty….

What is "FDE"?

I have a Hunter in 6.5 CM and have never liked the very thin comb of the stock and would love to get a "Montana" stock, trigger guard, mag box and follower for it one day.
It shoots great...I just haven't warmed up to that plastic mess

Flat dark earth. Or, brown as most folks call it.

Regular folks. Tacticool folks like to say "FDE". Matches their mall ninja uniforms.

I've had a wood stock Classic, and now have a Montana. One comment is that though the specs show the same dimensions, I suspect the Montana must have a thinner comb, as I had to add a cheek pad to raise my sight line thru the scope.

I would like to see a decent aftermarket stock for the hunters. That would make them an option for me, other then that, I’m stuck on the Montana’s.

I agree and I live in Alabama, was happy to have them here but not at the expense of their rifle line. I’ve never owned one but know plenty of folks that love them.

Far out. Thanks for sharing.

A slim stock out of similar material as a Tikka T3X, with blind mag or drop floorplate. YRMV

Tikka stocks suck ass.
