OK , here's the deal .
I picked up this TLE/RL II yesterday . As with any new gun , I stripped it down
to inspect and lube it .
I even ran a few patches through the bore and inspected it from the chamber end with
a bore light . So I put it all back together and function checked it , all OK
Then today I took it to the range and put 200 rounds of ball ammo to break it in .
Everything went well , accuracy was good for a new weapon , with POI a tad to the
left . I wasn’t concerned because it was slight and I was more interested in the break in .
When I got home I stripped it down for a good cleaning and inspection , and that's
when I noticed this :
It isn't a dent , the metal is the rough casting surface . What it looks like to me is that
when they machined the barrel the defect was just too low to be machined out .
I'm not happy for two reasons .
1. I'm pissed at myself for not noticing it when I was picking up the weapon , or in
the initial teardown .
2. I hate having to go through the hassle of getting it replaced , hopefully under
warranty .
Now if this was yours .... What would you do ??
Me ...... I'll be calling Kimber in the morning and as fate would have it , I only live about
30 miles from their Manf headquarters in Yonkers NY . Screw UPS or FedEx . I will
be hand delivering this one myself
