Kimber barrel weight

[MuleyFever]

Anyone happen to know about what a 24” Kimber barrel weighs? Specially One from a Montana in 280? I would think they are all similar though.

2lb 2.125oz Kimber Factory 280ai 84L take off barrel

A 30/06 barrel weighs 2lb 1.625oz for comparison

While you're on the subject, do you have a weight on an 84M action w bolt?

My Mtn Ascent 84M barreled action w/bolt and trigger comes in at 50.5 oz, or 3lb 2.5 oz. So if I took off 2 lb 2 oz for the barrel and 2 oz for the trigger that would leave only 15 oz for the action w/ bolt.

Can you measure the diameter of the barrel at the action? Or if you know what is the max diameter barrel I should look for to rebarrel a 84L?

You giving up on finding a load for it already?

Your barrel shank will start out at 1.050". Your builder will thread a tenon/chamber barrel. If you get a Lilja they offer a 100 percent factory contour for a Kimber 84L. No extra fee. If you already have a barrel it must be machined down to that 1.050" diameter for the shank.

Easily done conversion. IMO I would take out the goofy Kimber 8400 "step" style barrel shank and just go with about a 1 inch long straight "normal" barrel shank. Ensure you let your builder know prior to lathe work beginning.

Working all angles. I've got the end of season boredom going too.

I'm hoping to resurrect this old thread - what are the odds a Kimber 84m factory take off barrel would twist onto a new receiver and headspace correctly? Would it likely be plug and play like Tikkas and their factory take offs?

The other consideration is that the extractor cut is unlikely to properly line up.
