[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 930960, member: 12995"] If the Kimber rifles have the same finish as their pistols, STAY AWAY! I have a Kimber Pro TLE/RL II .45 that I carried everyday for a year in an IWB holster, and put it up for a month in my safe, and when I pulled it back out to clean it up and oil it, it had rusted itself shut. *** finish on a $1,300 pistol... I have debated on calling Kimber to tell them about it, but I figured it would do absolutely no good, because they'd just refinish it with the same crappy finish so it would rust again. I'm going to have it cerakoted black so it never rusts again. I'll see if I can find some pics I took in my Photobucket....Give me a minute.
