DPMS makes a solid rifle. I have a SS bull barreled NM rifle from them and it's a tack driver. I just want to get a nice compensator put on it and a real trigger job too.

I've got one just like that. I love KISS carbines. Midwest Industries makes a short picatinny rail which when combined with a Vltor Scout Mount will allow you to securely mount a Surefire along the bottom centerline of the handguard. Requires no mod of the handguard and it's plenty solid.
I really like Magpul's MOE handguards on a KISS carbine too. (more mounting slots) I've gotten over the whole free float rail thing and the MOE gives you plenty of options for mounting lights without all the weight and expense. Looks cool and you can't beat it for $30.00 ish. Of course once you have one of those the Magpul CTR butt stock starts to look like a good idea too.....Keeping a KISS Carbine KISS is hard to do.

Bought a complete lower then had to wait for a chrome lined barrel upper. I have another in work but its all individual parts, might go wildcat with it.
Thats pretty neat and clean. Do you use a single point attachment sling? How's the balance with that light?
Yea it is clean, rugged and very light weight so you don't even know it's out there. You can buy all kinds of pad switches etc to turn the light off and on with but with this set up I just use the back of my left hand to push the button off and on.
I use a two point sling almost always. I'm short and I hate the way a single point lets the weapon bang my leg when I move. On this rifle I actually use some ranger cord with a loop tied in it wrapped tightly between the hand guard and the delta ring. Works great as a front sling attachment.
That said on a couple of my AR's I've started using a COLT FRONT SLING MOUNT just like what's issued on the M-4. It's easy to put on, is light weight and is pretty much bomb proof. It goes directly around the barrel under the front sight assembly.

You know you want to come over to the dark side of the ATAS Carbine
AIM-92 Air to Air Stinger? That sounds interesting in a carbine ;-)
Well done on your Kimber Stainless II.
I have well over 5,000 rounds on my Custom II (the blued version of your gun) and not a single problem.
You will want some good 8 round mags to go with it. The Wilson Combat 47D's or ETM's are excellent.
I was actually in the store to get the blued Custom II, but ended up with the stainless. I like how Kimber's stainless models aren't as "shiny" as some other brands. The gun is definitely more accurate than I am. Hopefully I can put a few more rounds through it tomorrow. So far it's ran great on the factory mag that came with it, I also added some of Kimber's ProTac mags to the mix. I'll probably add some Chip McCormicks in there eventually.
It's my birthday ... sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo .... my birthday present to myself:
Smith 'Triple Lock' ... 97% ... .44 Special ... the heartbeat of America ... rock on.
