Kimber Ultra ten II Feeding Problems
Hi. I bougt a Kimber Ultra Ten II, it's a compact polymer frame, double stack ten round magazine 1911 style. From day one it would stovepipe or fail to feed at least once every magazine. Almost got rid of it but it's so nice to carry that I had a smith work on it. Polish throat and feed ramp etc. That helped some but didn't eliminate the problem. At the time I wasn't set up to reload but now I am and have found that it eats hot loads just fine. Have read about others having the same problem with this autoloader and thought I'd pass this along. Anyone think I could go to a lighter spring? It would be nice not to have to max out every load.
