$750 shipped to your FFL, $700 if you live in AK and can pick it up.
If you want a pretty rifle, the stock needs some TLC on the paint. Everything works, but you will need a new firing pin spring from Kimber for reliability (will light strike about 5 times out of 100, spring is under 14 dollars if in the lower 48, Kimber wants an additional $25 to ship it to AK).

The forend has been stiffened and best I can tell does not flex. The barrel has been cut to 20.5 inches.
