If you are correct in remembering that, then Kimber nixed the idea on the basis of extra expense in machining/production to produce an almost perfect combination of platform and cartridge. And I think it would have sold well had they done so. This, generally, is one weakness of some American gun manufacturers as I see it. Too much of “Let them eat cake” (what we give ‘me) so to speak.
For example, what kind of attitude is Kimber expressing when they say “we will never offer a left hand version”?
It takes a small shops like NULA and Rifles Inc. to bring a SA, lightweight rifle together with a longer than standard box, correct throat, etc. for a cartridge like the 284. It’s not brain surgery to do it right and do it well.
