The "Kimber Welfare Dept. " that's funny
I tried to get a malfuction by running a dirty gun but after 2200 plus rounds I figured it was time to strip it down for a detail cleaning.
The pistol is a Kimber Classic Stainless 70 series. The vast majority of the rounds fired were 200 gr lswc bullets on top of 4.9 grs . of Titegroup. Also had a few 230 fmj round in there too. All of the gunk in there wipes right off. After 15 min. in Ed's Red and
a little work with a brush it looks great.

Right, 150 rounds again at the range
Before firing, took the magazines apart to make sure the springs were seated properly and not crimped when I last took them apart. Then I tried outhe wolf calibration packs and ended up settling on the 16# recoil spring. May go back to the 14 as i seem to have better groups in 14#.
Anyway, Stuck to mags 1 & 2 to check the reliability of these mags as they normally contain my defense load. Long story short, no FTFeed or light strikes this outing while using the same type of ammo. I've not field stripped and cleaned as Mark gave me the idea to see if the feed problems were residue related...
did have 1 split case though... probably powder overload. but other than that, no issues.
I still need to check Mag #3, w/c I suspect is the faulty mag... but I ran out of range ammo... so I'll do that after I've gotten more ammo.
Thanks for all the tips from from all.... i'll post a couple of range reports once I'm sure this FTF problem is over.
Regards
