Kimber .308 84m

[Aavila1023]

Hello all, I’m having an issue with my Kimber 84m classic chambered in .308. After I shoot it the case gets stuck in chamber and the bolt will be stuck. I’ve tried all different types of ammo and nothing has changed. I do notice some scuffing on the bottom rim of the casing when finally getting them unstuck. I’ve contacted Kimber sent my gun in and they told me since I modified my gun(put a muzzle break) they will not work on it. I’m not sure what else to do. Any help or input would be much appreciated.

Take it to a local reputable gunsmith.
Idiotic they won't work on it with a muzzle device. They probably know everyone puts a muzzle brake or suppressor on so then they don't have to fix. My wife has the 6.5 84M and I love that little rifle.

Was it doing that before you installed the muzzle brake? When did this start?

It’s been doing this since before muzzle brake problem would come and go but got increasingly worse to where case would not eject without the help of cleaning rod down barrel.

Only about 30 rounds through it. I’ve cleaned multiple times trying to fix the issues. My grandpa was original owner but gun was never shot until passed down to me.

They won't work on anything but factory original. I have had two stocks crack and had to pay to have cerakote removed from the action and barrel before they would replace the stock.

Check the extractor assembly. I've had to bend 2 of mine to 1) get reliable extraction and 2) get rid of the rattle it made

Send pics of your bolt and I'll circle what I'm talking about

Do you use oil after cleaning? If so put some acetone on a chamber swab and wipe out the oil residue.
