Thinking of rebarelling a Montana.
Would like to either make a 6.5 SAUM out of an 8400 or possibly a 6.5-284 on a 84L.
Ive heard alot of Smith's won't work on Kimber.
Anyone here point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Kimbers are not my favorite to rebarrel but I just charge more for the extra machining. Be glad to talk to you about the 6.5-284. PM me.

No big deal on them, finished one up about two months ago.

Dave Bruno in Dayton, Pa did a Kimber rebarrel for me. Worked out great. Have had him do a couple others also with the same results. http://davebrunorifles.net/

What makes rebarreling a Kimber any more difficult than say a pre-64 or Classic Winchester?
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

I had a monumentally bad experience with a Montana and the @#$!! company that sells it. Mark Penrod corrected the problem including the rebarrelling. I was happy with his work.

Send it to PacNor and be done with it
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Pac-Nor did mine. It shoots great.
Mine will become a 6.5 SAUM/GAP next... I think that's a great idea, OP.
Extractor cut it the only extra machining I can think of?
The CENTER will hold.

Sorry to be slow in responding. The Kimbers are similar to pre-64 and Classic M-70's, coned breach and extractor cut.
