Well, I finally did it.
After close to 20,000 rounds, my Kimber's barrel is looking a little funny. the top lands are about 1/16" of an inch from the chamber shoulder, and look like my Glock's polyganol rifling. The strange thing is, the bottom lands are in much better shape.
Anywho, I'm now in the market for a new barrel. I need
suggestions!
I am not averse to sending it out to have a quality barrel fitted. I am averse to long waits, crappy service, and questionable barrel fit. This is my daily carry gun. Kimber Classic 5" S/S.
It still delivers acceptable accuracy, but I have not chronoed it and suspect things may be going down hill. So far, the only company I am confident enough in is Wilson Combat. ($$$)
All help greatly appreciated!
