Custom Gunmaking, Barrels and Reboring Services

Here you will find technical material to help you get the very most you can from your Thompson/Center Contender and Encore firearms in all rimfire and centerfire rifle and handgun configurations. Including Encore Trigger Job CDs and Oversized Hinge Pins for both Encores and Contenders. For 22 years I have specialized in barrel work, and as a result you will find I have many points of view that will differ greatly from long standing popular opinions found elsewhere. I started out first manufacturing button rifled barrel blanks and cut-rifle reboring barrels doing all sorts of custom rifle conversions. So I know barrels from a different perspective than most. I grind my own reamers and have made quite a few forming and reloading dies. My background is much different from others doing custom Contender and Encore work. Many of my findings will contradict what you think you know about gun barrels and may be difficult to conceptualize. For this I apologize, but it is the result of being deeply involved in barrel work. It is my desire to convey the things I have learned in a meaningful manner that will broadly expand your successes shooting these marvelous firearms.

Redmans Rifling and Reboring was established in 1973 by Randall Redman. Being an accomplished machinist and gun enthusiast, Randall was trained in the art of reboring and rifling by the nation's leading barrel reborer and rifler, Ward Koozer. These days, Randall is joined in the shop by his sons Levi and Luke. Between the three of them, they reline barrels back to their original caliber, rebore barrels to a larger size, manufacture barrel liners to be used in barrel relines or new gun barrels, and manufacture magazine tubes for Winchester lever action rifles. Because of their top quality craftsmanship and satisfied customers, Redman's Rifling and Reboring has become the nation's leading barrel restoration shop.
