I purchased a Kimber Pro Raptor II two months ago and am having trouble with it. For the first few firing sessions it would jam on almost every magazine. Spent shell casings were not being properly extracted, sometimes remaining in the barrel after firing. My dealer took it back from me to try and repair it. They replaced the extractor, but it did not fix the problem.
I then sent the gun to the custom shop at Kimber for their evaluation. They replaced the barrel and sent 120 rounds through it before sending it back to me, according to the invoice. It is still not cycling the rounds properly. The main problem is no longer that the spent rounds are sticking in the barrel, but that the next round is not properly feeding from the magazine. I get a jam about once every two magazines now. Sometimes it is due to feed malfunction, other times it is a spent shell casing getting stuck in the chamber (extraction malfunction).
I have used all sorts of ammunition with the same results. I have also mixed up the magazines. I'm primarily using the stock magazine and a wilson combat. I also eliminated the possibility of myself being the malfunction by asking several of my friends at the gun club to fire it. They all found the same results.
Has anyone come accross this problem with their Kimber? I'm at a point now where I will have to send it back to KMI for a second time, but I'm concerned about what I will get back.
