WOW! I have never heard of these issues with a Kimber. I have two and have never had an issue. But, every manufacturer has a bad one now and then. Sounds like a Para-Ordnance I bought many years ago. It would put a dent in every piece of brass it ejected. I returned to my buddy's gun shop and told him about it. He sent it back and they promptly returned it and said it was a characteristic of the gun and there was nothing they could do. I wouldn't accept that explanation and he ended up taking it back, applying what it cost towards the purchase of my first Kimber, ironically. I have never owned another Para-Ordnance since. But one of my uncles owns several and he has never had an issue with any of his...go figure!

And yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Glock. I love mine and it has always operated flawlessly. And I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Anything with the name COLT on it is high dollar. You can get other brands which are as good as Colt for less money.

I have a few dollars in my panther.

Nice build sheet. Why .223 and not 5.56? If I were you I would do a 5.56. You can still shoot commercial .223 ammo, but you can also shoot military surplus 5.56 if you find a deal on it, which is pretty common at gun shows.

**repoman** · 06-28-2012, 06:36 PM

yeah i just realized that looking over it.....5.56 is the way to go and have a choice in the matter.....change a few things around god some parts have came down and a ton have gone thur the roof....i think i gonna wait til suncoast comes thur with another gun show at fairground and look at a soild platform....wish bo in plantcity still had the gun shop open the was the ar guru

**4XLGator** · 06-28-2012, 06:40 PM

Yeah, I miss Bo and his shop.

If you go to a show, look for Naples Tactical...that is who I bought my AR from. It was a stock DPMS that they dress to an extent, then I added a few things. They cut me a good deal.
