Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing kimber 84M light primer strike/FTF

Sorry to read this is still a problem that shows up. With so few rifles being made, this doesn't bode well for the future home in Alabama. Pretty rudimentary QC at the factory - the buyer shouldn't have to deal with this. Brad has the "fix" spelled out above.

You can tighten that protrusion adjustment TOO much as well..... I was having the same issues, I ordered the wolf spring and it was too large diameter to fit so I called Kimber and finally talked them into sending me a new firing pin/spring combo. The new firing pin was the exact same dimensions as the old one but the new spring was quite a bit longer. I installed it and thought I had it fixed until 5-10 rounds later and got the dreaded "click" again. Not sure when it dawned on me or if I read it somewhere, but I finally thought.... if I have that screw tightened down too much it will actually slow the spring down in its travel ..... I backed it off until I was certain that it was just barely touching the shoulder stop inside the body and now have had probably 100 rounds with no issue. I think it needs that full travel to build up the speed/inertia to hit that primer hard enough? Who knows lol.

Bringing this back to the top. I just ordered the spring from wolf. Anyone have any tips for changing it out when it arrives? I've changed the spring on military Mausers. Same principle?
