Jan 07, 2014 I recently traded for a Kimber of Oregon model 82 rifle with the B serial number. I thought the rifle was valued at around $700-$800 but the little info i.
Hi, I purchased a Kimber Model 82 in.22 Magnum today, it has a Leupold Vari-x III 2.5x8 scope and the barrel is marked ' KIMBER of Oregon, INC, CLACKAMAS OREGON, USA. The serial # is M24xx. Can anyone tell when this rifle was built?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. This is my 1st Kimber rifle and its a beauty. I have owned many Kimber handguns and carry a Kimber today. Leica Geo Office Software here.
I have a model 82.22 lr that's mine was also made there. It's serial # is C30xx and I think it's around 25 years old, not sure tho. I don't understand a lot of this stuff myself, I'm 70 years old but to the best of my knowledge they program computers to automatically join forums and post meaningless sayings and usually have a link to another site they want to direct you to. Here's another group I recently found, on the for this coming May.
Look at the 18th, 19th and 20th how many people use the screen name daisyjohnXXXX we have 5 of them and they're all going to be 24 years old in a 3 day span. If you go in and check their profiles you'll find links to other sites and services, I think they get paid for every site they join.
Early Kimber's were mfg. At the Kimber plant in Clackamas, Oregon. A few years later, Kimber bought Jericho Precision, and moved mfg. Of 1911's to this plant in Yonkers, NY. There are a few differences in the Clackamas vs. Yonkers models. Clackamas Kimbers (and I'm talking the base 'Classic Custom' model here) use an early CMC carbon/plastic trigger, have a 2-line inscription on the ejection port side of the slide, and come with wood grips as standard.

Some of these guns had reported reliability problems, but many were excellent. IMO, the best manufactured base model Kimbers are the ones made early on after the move to the Yonkers, NY facility. These are stamped Yonkers on the frame, still had the carbon trigger, and black rubber grips. The ones I have owned and shot from this time were tight yet smooth, and worked extremely well. Also available at this time was a 'Classic Walnut' inscribed model, that came with beautiful walnut grips. The 'Royal Classic' models I have shot from this period of time were also excellent. In my personal experience, the later-produced of the 'original' series (use an aluminum trigger) guns have tended to show a touch of variation in quality, most notably barrel fit, slide fit, and trigger pull.
Some I've shot have been outstanding, while others have actually been a little sloppy! Spark For Windows Xp Pro 32 Bit Iso. For instance, I was interested in a full-size 'original-series' CDP just slightly over a year ago, but passed on one particular example, as it rattled like a Colt when you shook it, and had a relatively poor (for Kimber) barrel fit. Regarding the Series II guns, I'm not qualified to comment here, as I don't (and won't) own one.
Plenty of threads to read on this topic, however. These thoughts are based only on my experiences. Others who handle these guns on a full-time basis will certainly have more exposure (and thus better qualified comments) than myself! I should have said I have one of the first 100 guns, the serial number is K00109x. The frame may have been made in Yonkers, however it is stamped 'Kimber. Made in Yonkers or not, I would imagine that any Kimber stamped with the Clackamas mark would have some sort of collector value. My pistol is the only gun assembled at Clackamas shop, other Clackamas marked pistols I am told, were built in Yonkers.
