Here's one I forgot to mention. Call it 13). on the checklist smile

When Kimber assembles the Montana stocks, they're apparently (sometimes) adding the pads while the stock is still curing and producing heat. This sucks the air out of the recoil pad and "dimples" it. To make the dimples vanish, puncture the dimples with a heavy pin. Over time the pad will find its original shape. I haven't seen this problem in a while, but a lot of the older MT's had this issue.
