Kimber is out - tired of the bullshiit. https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2020/10/27/kimber-moving-headquarters/ Kimber Moving Headquarters To Troy, AL Posted at 7:00 pm on October 27, 2020 by Tom Knighton I’ve always been a little amazed at how many gun companies call themselves home in various anti-gun states. These are states where the powers that be want to destroy their entire business, and yet many have stayed there for some insane reason. However, that’s been changing in recent years. Several companies have bailed on their anti-gun states and sought refuge in friendlier climates. It seems we can now add Kimber to that group as well. Kimber Manufacturing, a company that makes a variety of firearms and ammunition, is transitioning its corporate headquarters from New York to its facility in Troy, Alabama. The decision to change the location of the company’s headquarters was first announced last week, and much of the work has already been completed. A release from the company notes that “leadership, R&D and manufacturing resources” are now in place at the 225,000 square-foot facility in Troy. Kimber is now “adding staff across all departments” to complete the transition. The gunmaker’s massive presence in the Wiregrass is still relatively new. Governor Kay Ivey first announced it in her state of the state address in 2018. At the time, it was described as a manufacturing capacity expansion, not a new headquarters, but the executives at Kimber appear to have grown fond of the Yellowhammer State. The gunmaker was founded in Yonkers, New York, in 1979 and remained headquartered there until its recent transition to Alabama. Of course, New York isn’t friendly to Kimber customers. While most, if not all, of Kimber’s offerings are still legal in the state, it’s still not a good place to be a gun owner. Not by any stretch of the imagination. As such, it makes sense to relocate to a state that won’t look at you like you’re 55 kinds of evil just for existing. Enter Alabama. Now, as a Georgian, I make a lot of jokes at Alabama’s expense, but the state is most definitely a pro-gun state where Kimber will find a great many supporters. It’s not likely to find oppressive governmental overreach hitting their bottom line, something I wouldn’t rule out in New York. Honestly, as more and more gun companies are relocating to pro-gun states, particularly in the Deep South, you’d think that if the gun industry was big enough to terrify congressmen as some have suggested, then the economic repercussions of angering the industry would keep states from passing gun control. It’s clearly not. Especially when you have a company laying off hundreds of employees on Monday with no severance package. At the end of the day, Kimber is finding a new home. As time rolls on, you’ll see more and more companies based in pro-gun states as anti-gunners run them and the millions of dollars they bring into local communities away. Frankly, many of the poorer states in the South could use the jobs, so we thank the anti-gunners for their hard work in boosting the economies of many of these communities. Oh, the didn’t mean to do it, but results matter in the grander scheme of things.

Remington did the exact same thing with Marlin Firearms, when they consumed that company. And we had fucked-up Lever Guns for quite awhile. Because they fired all the Marlin workers, the magicians that made those magic Lever Guns for decades and decades. The Rem-Lins and Mar-Lingtons that came out of that mess, shortly afterwards - were a disaster. Yep, fired all the dedicated Marlin workers. Hmmm... Anyone seeing a pattern here?...

Just got worse for workers of Remington. 585 layed off, no severance, nothing. https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Bankrupt-Remington-gun-company-lays-off-585-15675165.php On a historical note, when Remington bought out Bushmaster Firearms in Windham, Maine - Remington closed the factory and let all the workers go. Buh-bye. And they moved Bushmaster Firearms to another state. Those resilient Maine-ers wouldn't take that as an answer, bought back the abandoned factory, and started their OWN company - Windham Weaponry. But... didn't the current Remington workers see the writing on the wall, back then - when Remington fucked over Bushmasher employees?... History just repeated itself, right there.

Gas system and Recoil system are not playing nicely together. Open your adjustable gas block setting up to WIDE OPEN, until we sort this whole Race-Gun out. That's the one thing that you can change right now, that won't cost you anything. More details on the barrel first. List the barrel manufacturer and configuration, including gas port diameter and gas block journal size. Lets start there.

Brother - you don't remember that? He's already bailed out a solid 1/2 dozen of us in the last several years. He's our Savior. You need to keep up with the current events. In our (errant) circles, he's known as "The Notorious C.O.B."...

Kalbi, brother, Kalbi. It's Korean (갈비). Done enough time over there in the ROK, and eaten tons of it, maybe literally... Lettuce leaf, rice, red pepper paste (Go Chu), and the meat all wrapped up. I could get fat(ter) living on that stuff. I love it.

So close on the timing for the shoot - would be nice to have you here for it. Missed by a week-ish, roughly. There's always the future, knowing now that you come to town to visit. We've been know to throw down shoots just because someone is coming into town - so next time that might happen, let us know in advance - we'll throw together an over-nighter or just a day trip, just to shoot with people that are members here. Sheit, that how most us all met, in the first place...

You just can't STOP working yer ass off, can ya?...

This thread just gets better and better, you fuckers...

That little hooker on the right is so damn sexy...

He did well - he got his Mk12 together before his Pops got one together. I'm just sayin'...

Fully processed 328 9mm cases tonight after work. Right now they're primed and ready to get loaded tomorrow. That'll have me setting well for the Fall Shoot, with what I already have on hand. 55gr 5.56 is up in the next couple days. Then I'm finished, and ready to truck it all out to the Secret Desert Test Facility.

Is that Overall Length (OAL), end to end, or is that the bottomed-out internal depth. The internal depth is what matters. Internal depth needs to be 9 11/16".

Phil, here's the buffer that will work quite well: https://www.primaryarms.com/KAK-LR-308 Here's one from HeavyBuffers.com that works even better - the machining is flawless - You'd be after the first one listed on this page: http://heavybuffers.com/ar10carbine.html

How long you in town down there? I'm 60-ish miles away.

Coffee is voluntary, brother - and we can't make them drink it, from our side of the keyboard... Though I'd like to at times.

Thanks for complying. It's always easier than trying to force information from someone.

Have you been reloading for more than a minute? Experienced, is what I'm asking. 1st post, no background, and no info on your experience with reloading mentioned. Please elaborate. Maybe hit the Intro Section, and tell us about yourself. Before we give out load data that will blow up in your face. Hope that makes sense. Questions about your gun hardware will be inbound, shortly. Recoil system details, gas system details. The usual things we ask of people. Might as well just give up those details right now, and shortcut the process. You might not even have a load problem - but a gun problem. You always have to fix the gun, first. Otherwise, you're wasting your time pissing around with loads tailored to a gun that doesn't work, just to try to get it to work. Rip up the Intro Section. In the mean time, check out this thread right here - this is the "usual" thatwe need from people, just to figure out the gun, first, which is the most important step. Working gun, THEN, working loads for a working gun... If we have to waterboard you for information about your gun, we become quite pissed. Hope that makes sense, too.

Just saw one of those revolver/rifles the other day, and it was interesting. This Leever-Gun, though, has me hooked.

WTF IS THAT?!!? I LIKE THAT! ALOT!!! FML. Thanks. ALOT. I found it already. God Daymit. https://www.henryusa.com/firearms/lever-action-axe-410/

Day after I took that pic, my truck was stolen, with the targets in the back - so I can't even prove it and show it to you... We'll get it done, brother. The barrel, cartridge - and your good trigger - we can't fail. You're gonna LOVE this platform, big time. Sidenote - I just led you down the Mk12 Rabbit Hole, too...

I was trying to recreate this face whilst shooting that day - had a vision in my head, and wanted it on the target. I'm just an amateur, but I got pretty close... From this video...

My brother - you've done very, very well. You will love this gun, maybe more than any other. That's not because the caliber is badass, or this or that - but, because you set a vision in your head, and you stuck to it, and waited to make it happen. This gun had YOU behind it - not just some purchase off a shelf. Now, don't get me wrong - 6 ARC is a baaaaad motherfucker. BAD!!! You are gonna LOVE THIS THING... The trigger is badass, the barrel is capable of incredible accuracy, and the cartridge is something that we haven't seen in a long, long time... - It's innovative, and it works very, very well. You're gonna love it when you shoot it, and I only hope I can be your spotter when you touch it off for the first time - I'll drive to make that happen. No kidding. You don't paint a smiley face within 10 rounds of zero-ing that scope, though, and I'm gonna fuk with you endlessly... The barrel and ammo is capable... Ratchet down that loose nut that's right behind the trigger, because that's all it's gonna take. You gotta do this, and that's why I wanna be your spotter... I can't WAIT to see you Yank Trigger on this thing, man. You WAY FULFILLED your call-out on The Rule.

Plenty - we'll time that thing when you get here. Don't worry bout finding any, I got 'em.
