I posted this in another forum. Thought I would ask here also.
Any advice to remedy light strikes on a Kimber Montana 84M? I understand this is a common problem and that Kimber has a longer/stronger firing pin replacement spring. Anybody know if they charge for these or send them out gratis to rectify the situation?
Also, I've read that Wolfe makes a replacement, but some say the spring diameter is too large to fit the bolt channel. Again, anybody have first hand experience?
Before I go the replacement spring route, I'd like to see if I can increase firing pin protrusion. I've read that this is done by first backing out the set screw under the rear of the bolt, then, turning the adjustment screw at the very rear in or out. When I attempt this, the adjustment screw only turns 1/8 - 1/4 turn. That doesn't seem normal, but a can surly be wrong.
Anybody able to help me out? Thanks, Tim
