Kimber 84M bolt function
« on: July 28, 2010, 06:43:21 PM »
Almost every Kimber bolt binds up if you dont push it in perfectly straight, especially if too much pressure to the side. Can this be fixed easily? I am thinking of buying one, but dont want to pay over a thousand bucks for a rifle with a poor functioning bolt.

Sorry for the delay but I've been a bit busy. I'm not familiar with the 84M rifle in that much detail but wonder that they are still in business if the truth. Almost any modern bolt can be made to jam if one tries a bit. Good lubricant will go a long way to aleaviate most such goings on. Perhaps they're just new a bit dry?

I own several, and never had any binding issues when operated in a normal fashion.  They are just as smooth as any well broken in Mauser action.
