Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Kimber Hunter vs Montana

Here are a couple of the 84M Hunter .223 Rem prototype magazines (3D printed parts) that worked well. They're shown with a 55gr Remington factory load and an 80gr A-MAX handload. The Hunter magazine parts are all nylon 6,6 and the insert would have been made from the same material. If someone had access to a 3D printer it wouldn't be impossible to build a Hunter in .223 Rem. It was frustrating to know that it would have been "cheap" to introduce an 84M Hunter in .223 Rem. It would only have required a new barrel, magazine follower and magazine insert with virtually no risk. The only tooling costs would have been new molds for the follower and insert which are relatively cheap. The only likely complaint would have been that the bolt travel was longer than necessary since it would have been built on the standard 84M receiver.
