I don't know about the current production, but previously Kimber did indeed purchase their Talkeetna and Caprivi barrels from Krieger. The front and rear sites from NECG and the barrel bands from Gentry.
This from campfire member "Headache" whom is a Senior Design Engineer for Kimber, and was the lead on the Talkeetna and Caprivi rifles.
Pete H was the rifle engineer at Kimber who developed the Talkeetna but he left many years ago. The last time I saw him was over two years ago and closer to three. He's doing (or was) some consulting on various non-firearms projects as far as I know. He's a very knowledgeable individual and a great resource. The barrels have never been made by Krieger and I can't say more than that. Ultimately it doesn't matter because the barrels on the Talkeetna and Caprivi rifles are outstanding.
