Broke my ejector on my Kimber Pro Carry II on Saturday. Found the broken part while cleaning afterward. Here's a pic. Sorry about all the lint, it was a close up and better than I thought it would turn out. I was still in the process of cleaning.
I just talked to Kimber and they say it'll be covered under warranty. Send it back and they'll fix it under warranty.
Or I can have the part sent to me or my smith and have him do it.
So I have to see which will be cheaper, sending it back or having the smith do it.
I was surprised due to Kimber having a 1 year warranty and my Kimber is about 3 years old or so.
Have to check my info at home to verify. I also need to call them back with my S/N to start the RMA procedure.
I'll keep you updated on my experience with Kimber. I've been seeing a lot of bad stuff about their customer service.
This will be my first real experience with them.
The Kimiber has been flawless really until now.
I'm so sad....
Note: it shot perfectly at the range. I did notice something funny at one point, stopped checked everything and it seemed fine. Finished up.
Got home and was cleaning it and noticed the arm that sticks into the magwell was snapped off.
Reassembled it, can't really see it then. It chambered a round just fine, but would not eject anymore.
Once I started looking up the procedure for replacing it, having to drill the post to fit the pin in and all. I decided I'd best have a smith or Kimber do it for me.. I really would have liked to fix it myself, but don't want to screw up the frame by accident or lack of experience.
