Yes it came out of a blue Bag, just like the rest of them. For some reason, new kimber barrels - Especially on the stainless guns - seem to rust very easily in my experience. We (meaning Me) were able to southern engineer a solution to the mag release problem, and Flitz the rust away. These solutions along with a $20 discount, made the customer happy. The mag release issue was that the little Detent doohicky that you turn with an allen wrench to capture the spring and allow removal of the mag release button had gotten half way turned and just bound everything up. A simple turn of the allen wrench fixed it, but still I shouldn't have to turn a damn thing on a brand new $1100 pistol.
TR - We sell a ton of Kimbers and I am only mildly impressed by them in general. I have seen probably 3-5 guns with rust on the barrels when they came out of the package from the factory.
I know lots of people who are very pleased with their Kimber pistols, but I am not just chomping at the Bit to run to work and Buy one of my own.
