It was me that posted the targets. I fit an EZ fit which is supposed to be the same as Exact fit barrel in an old kimber. My first try. It came with the match bushing that I had to fit to the slide. Easy peasy. You need a TON of patients. I used some harbor freight needle files, and will buy the proper file for the next one.
I found the EZ fit in the for sale forum for $170.00. Had to try it. The Kimber was bought as a project gun. It had a Wegand frame mounted scope mount and an Ultra dot 30mm. This is why I bought the gun. It shot 8" groups when I took it home. I could fit a .009" feeler gauge between the hood and slide. I could move the bushing in the frame with my hands. I think somebody threw a bunch of parts together and traded it in. The safety had been painted black, and the slide is loose as a goose. Now with the new barrel, when it is in battery, the slide does not move. I know this will not last and the gun is going in for accurails in a while.
I just bought a Kart Gunsmith fit barrel from the Bullseye forum for $125.00 and its supposed to be a really good one. Its going in my Dan Wesson Valor,. I will post results.
My groups are shot hand held with a 2-6x scope installed. I wonder what it would do in a ransom rest.
