Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles kimber montana aluminumTG's are here!

Ha! Smart azz comments don't carry much weight!

Looking forward to seeing the results from the work mentioned.

Will do, as soon as they arrive.
Been having some bizarre whether the last few days, Snow, wind, RAIN! Flooding! been hard for folks to get to work, so their turn around might be a little slower than normal.

Update: Received call from anodizer Wednesday, He said the trigger guards should ship back to me Thursday or Friday, I'm hoping they get here today.
Next problem is, It's still Raining, And they are calling for more severe flooding than we had last week, If so the mail can't get to my shop when flooded, neither can I.
This flooding is supposed to continue through Wednesday.
I hope not.
I'll keep you posted.

Was wondering if you had any left?

Yes, they are not all spoken for yet.

Just got off the phone with my Anodizer, He assured me that they will ship tomorrow, (Tuesday) I will have them Wednesday.
Normally, I would be a bit miffed at the time it has taken them to get to my parts, but we have had some poor weather lately, there has been a couple of days I couldn't get to the shop and they are in the same vicinity.
It has taken longer to get them Anodized than to machine them.

Well then I guess I better get my name on one. I'll shoot you a pm.

Well!,...They finally arrived!!!!I will ship to those that have paid, tomorrow and I will get some pics up as well.
Thanks to all for your patience.

Ok, Here is a few pics, first two photos, the two on the right are tumble finished and the two on the left are glass beaded.

Those look great... I kinda' might need one.

CVMW,
I'm guessing the one on the far right (tumble finished) most closely matches the stainless on a Kimber Montana vice the second from left (glass beaded)? Seems pretty clearly to be the case looking at the picture, just never know when a picture doesn't quite match reality.

Left is Tumble finished, center is the original Stainless, Right is Glass bead.
The difference in appearance to the original can go either way, IMO.
I guess it depends on what appeals to you the most.

Very nice work.

Thanks!

I received my tumble-finished titanium trigger guard today. The finish and the workmanship are first-class.

Willie, (our "CVMW" on the campfire) does beautiful work.

Does the tumble finish match the stainless of the Montana? (if you have a Montana)

you know for $/oz of weight savings, I'm guessing its probably fairly well priced. What does it cost to have a bolt fluted and drilled? And what does that save? How about a McMillian edge?

Lots of ppl out there that would be happy to drop around $500 to save 1.25lbs

Glad to see they are selling well and are a nice product.

PRM,

The tumble-finish titanium is a very, very close match to the Kimber Montana stainless finish. I am very pleased.

It is very close.

I agree on the "tumble finish". Especially since they are on the botton of the rifle and not attached to the barreled action like scope mounts would be....even if they were it would still be very tough to tell. Very nice work Willie.
