I'd welcome a run of S/S follower springs,for every rifle I've got and that'd require more than (1) spring production run.(grin)

A pard the other day,ordered (4). Another pard took delivery of a 223 'tuicky the other day and the first pitch(moly 50'Max kissin',Virgin W/W hulls and 10X)...went in the .2's for him.
You'd think that'd be tough to like,from a 5.5lb S/S Workhorse of a rifle,but it ain't.(grin)

Boxer on your montuckys, do you adjust the triggers?

Didn't even notice the mag spring when I had my Montana apart. SS material shouldn't be that hard to get, but I'll have to see what is feasible for small volumes as far as forming it.

Ever hear of a guy named Melvin Forbes? He went so far as to literally put his surname on the production rifle, which is supposedly an ISO 9001 dead-nuts exact replicate (the action at least) of the custom versions that he's manufactured for decades. Yeah, I'm really "going out on a limb" on this one. I've heard of Melvin. Had one of his rifles that had to be sent back for several issues, including an improperly attached bolt handle and an out of spec chamber. He took care of it and I'm not going to bitch even though I spent a good bit of money sending it back to him more than once. There's no such thing as a perfect rifle, but my Kimbers have been worth the little bit of work I've put into them, like skim bedding, needed or not as the case may be. OK, you've had one that wouldn't shoot for you and [bleep] customer service. As I've said elsewhere, I've shot a lot more than one, and have yet to pull the trigger on one that didn't shoot. And as for customer service, ever deal with Remington? And I can only wish my Remingtons would shoot as well "out of the box" as have the Kimbers. Let it go...

Boxer on your montuckys, do you adjust the triggers? Of course,a great rifle MUST have a great trigger. The Montucky trigger shoe is wide/generous and due to mechanical design,they easily adjust down crisply,with zero creep. They've got it all and then some.

SquatToPee is beyond [bleep] clueless and Kimber cain't be faulted,for an inability to provide the stupid [bleep] IQ points. Of course,no other Manufacturer can either,besides her folks.
Just sayin'.

Good tip, I will watch for it next trip - though like I say, when the barrel warms up it starts stacking them. [/quote]
If it stacks em when the barrel warms up you most likely need a seating depth adjustment and it'll fix your cold bore problem.

Seems I remember a certain unnamed Texican taking a .375 H&H Talkeetna to the Dark Continent... The dumb SOB is damn lucky he survived and didn't get eaten by the lions. Everyone knows Kimbers are dog sheit and don't feed/extract properly, let alone shoot straight... he was pushing his luck and tempting fate!
