    Gunsmithing Kimber 84M accuracy problems

    Re: Kimber 84M accuracy problems Gman, You have articulated my exact feelings. I can't figure out why they wouldn't want to honor it period. The amount of time, energy and $$ it would cost them to put a rifle back in my hands that will shoot 1 1/2 groups will be trivial. Even if they just...
