Microgunner Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 First off, am I the only person on this board with a Kimber rimfire? I could find no sub-listing for Kimber.Back to Kimber. I took my Kimber Rimfire Target dedicated .22lr 1911-A1 from my safe for comparison to my new RIA XT22 and noticed, or re-noticed I should say, that the extractor in my Kimber is completely worn out from countless rounds down range. Pistol still works fine unless you're trying to extract a live round and then the problem rears it's head.Could not find the part on Kimber's website so I gave them a call. Now keep in mind that this a pistol purchased new in 2004 or 2005 and has untold rounds down the tube and Kimber simply asked for my address to mail me a replacement extractor and extractor spring free of charge.Thanks Kimber. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 That is great service. I think you are in fact the only Kimber .22 owner I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 That's great news MG.Do you own the Kimber 1911 with the 22lr conversion, or the straight up 22LR?Just curious...I'm already thinking of one of these for a Christmas gift for myself. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 It's a dedicated .22lr, not a conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Damn...So Daconian Ct laws havn't prevented ownership of "certain" firearms, only made ownership very expensive?Or, translation, laws preventing lower income residents of possessing these "certain" fireams.

imschur Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 When I ordered grips from them I had to chase them to fulfill the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well here it is three months and three phone calls later and low and behold I got the extractor and spring.Here's proof. Getting parts from Kimber takes dedication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
