There is a recall list if you google it. My rifle was on the list, they checked it and it was in spec - what does that have to do with this? David If there's not a recall on this, there should be.. Brad's fix seems easy enough to do though.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I thought the recall was for this.

Decelerator pads are nice as they are so soft and squishy. When gluing one on, using clamp force to close the gap, they'll collapse easily squishing the air out forming the vacuum once the glue dries. They're prone to this no matter the temperature. Happened at old Kimber too. A fine line between just right and too tight. Poking them usually will fix, otherwise its bandsaw and try again. Forgot one other thing... when the stocks are out of the mold and the recoil pads glued on, sometimes a vacuum is created from the heat of the cooling stock. On many Montana's (obviously not on the wood models) you'll find the recoil pad "dimpled" (sucked in) and slight deformed from this vacuum effect. The simple way to release the vacuum is take a sharp, longish push-pin or heavy sewing needle and poke through the outside of the recoil pad in a couple spots above and below the Kimber logo on the butt end of the pad. Over a few days (up to a week), the pad will go back to its original form. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/bradmacmt/Gun%20Stuff/kimberpad_zps3bcb4a0c.jpg)

You guys every look at the lugs on the bolt itself? I just picked up my first Kimber (new) mountain ascent model. Seems like the bolt closed with a little resistance on a factory load. Took the bolt out and looked at the lugs and it does look like a scratch or a little gulling on the contact surface. I looked at the bolt from my extreme weather model 70 it also looked about the same. Yes it was lubed. Do you guys lap the lugs on Kimber bolts? Wondering if this won't go away after I fire and run the bolt a few times.

Run it a while if the lugs are contacting ok. Check by colouring contacting lug surfaces and working the bolt. Should give a good indication of how the lugs are bearing. Can be a little surprising.
I have lapped lugs in the past with fine valve grinding paste. Don't overdo it.
