Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is proud to present a once-in-a-generation offering direct from the legendary Kimber Vault—an extraordinary collection of firearms that have never before been released to the public. These remarkable pieces include Serial Number One examples, rare prototypes, and factory display & salesman samples, ALL of which were retained internally for decades by Kimber's Founder, Owner, & CEO, Leslie Edelman.
Until now, these firearms have remained unseen outside of the company’s inner circle, making this a truly unprecedented opportunity for collectors. Each firearm will be accompanied by an official Kimber Factory Certificate of Authenticity, further solidifying its provenance and historical significance.
As the exclusive outlet entrusted with their release, Bryant Ridge Co. offers collectors a unique chance to acquire historically significant Kimber firearms with unmatched provenance and desirability.
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this bolt-action rifle today for a penny-start auction; this is the Kimber K22 Custom Classic chambered in .22 LR with Serial Number #KA08403!
This Kimber Factory Letter documents a K22 Custom Classic rifle, identified by the serial number KA08403. This specific firearm is chambered in .22 LR and is configured with a 22-inch barrel, a Blued finish, and a Walnut stock. According to the remarks, this example is part of a special edition that was retained within the personal holdings of Leslie Edelman, founder and owner of Kimber. Firearms from these retained groups were set aside from general distribution, preserving them as part of a private archive. The document, signed by Leslie Edelman, states that the rifle was released from the Kimber Vault on February 6, 2026, and delivered to Bryant Ridge Co. in Liberty, Kentucky.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber K22 Custom Classic represents one of the finest modern American production rimfire rifles ever manufactured. Built around Kimber's renowned K22 action in non-reflective satin blued steel, it pairs a 22-inch sporter-contour barrel chambered in .22 LR with match-grade rimfire accuracy. Stocked in magnificent hand-checkered figured walnut featuring a dark ebony forend cap, classic sporter comb, and black recoil pad, it merges traditional custom-grade aesthetics with superb field handling. What elevates this K22 Custom Classic into a prized, museum-tier centerpiece for rimfire collectors is its direct executive vault lineage. Bearing serial number **KA08403**, this rifle was specially set aside from general commercial distribution and retained directly within the private holdings of Kimber Founder, Owner, & CEO Leslie Edelman. Preserved in the executive Kimber Vault until its official release on February 6, 2026, this factory-certified archive piece comes complete with its factory-labeled hard case and signed COA letter. An irreplaceable, heirloom-tier addition for any advanced Kimber rimfire, K22, or Leslie Edelman Vault collector!
