He compared the Series 70 Colt to a Series I Kimber and a Series 80 to a Series II Kimber. He did also mention that the Series 80 would work in most all guns out there. If there is no difference in the slides of either model, I dont know why either. Just figured that I would make the call...

Kimber takes what? I was curious about this myself from the start of this thread... Never thought that it would go this long and still not have an answer. Good news. I just called EGW and talked with Jeff. Great guy and very knowledgeable. According to Jeff, Kimber owners can safely...

Solution Just send them to me for safe keeping. I would hate for anyone to think that either of you is hording...

I have Wilson tritium on my KZ45 and Meprolight on my Kimber. Of the two I like the Meprolight the best. They are by far the brightest that I have seen and used. Others with more experience feel free to chime in here...

Just curious about the finish on these old guns. Could something that old be browned instead having of the old time blueing? I only ask because I have a reprint of an old book has tons of different old blueing and browning recipes in it... I know the end result is the same, controlled rust...

I have never used Metaloy but have read good things about them. They are about a 30 min drive from my home. If you are curious, give them a call and discuss what you are wanting done. Let them know what kind of work you expect and if you dont like what you hear back dont use them. Please let...

I think the victim was just one of those mouthy people you see. Always has the last word, comments on everything. You know the one, the guy in high school that cut down everyone when his buddies were around and kissed up when they werent. I have made comments like his, and when I get...

Hey Jim! Thanks for the reply, that is exactly what I was looking for. Looks like you had some of the good and the bad with your experience. Would like to hear more about them tho. Regards!

LHB1, Thanks for the reply, although that wasnt quite what I was looking for. I am more curious why I havent read about anyone who is replacing a barrel not choosing Wilsons. I understand that Kart, Nowlin and others are really good but was only wondering if anyone here has had any...

Has anyone ever used a Wilson drop in or GS fit barrel? I have read alot about Kart and others here just dont recall reading anything about Wilson barrels. Anyone tried? Good? Bad? Ugly? I am only curious becuase my KZ45 is pretty darn accurate and the chamber is tighter than what...

I dont know if this will help... but try this link. http://www.clymertool.com/headspac/index.html Good luck.

Tuner, I did it! I wanted to post this really quick as the work day is over, but the Dad day isnt half over yet! I managed to use the lathe at work for a while and turned out two really nice headspace gauges. The one thing that I wasnt able to do was the relief cut in the housing. Gonna...

Just noticed that... Darn, he is good! Let it be known, 45 ACP is what I was referring too. If I had some of that juiced up coffee that I have read they serve over in the Carolina's maybe I would have remembered that little tid bit! Thanks Jim.

diameter and extractor groove dimensions Well, I dont reload and was hoping to get an easy google answer for that one. If anyone has a reloading manual and could provide those numbers as well I would appreciate it.

Mucho thanks. I really do appreciate it, and if I get time this weekend I will try and get them knocked out and post pics.

Tuner or anyone else that has them. I was wondering if you could provide dimensions for these go and no-go gauges. Gonna do some tinkering at work on the lathe and would like to make my own. Thanks!

If I remember correctly I saw them listed back in Aug on gunbroker for less than that. I ended up with the TLE II in black oxide for about $760 plush shipping and FFL fees. In my area that was a substantial savings over a local dealer. If you go with a Kimber, I hope you like yours as well as...

Tuner - thanks for your response. I guess that is just my take on how you write when dealing with Mr. Sample. I dont want to get into a debate over what is right or wrong, not my place. I know that you have a responsibility here as a moderator but think there is another way to make your...
