The rifle does have some appeal. That is.. if I needed another rifle.

You could tell those folks that come knocking (you know the ones) that your Redemption is secure.

That ignition system might work well but I wonder how often one would have to beat that plug out of the barrel? They claim pressure from the collar tightens the plug to the barrel and makes a seal.

With all the guns you own. You stopped buying guns because you need one a long time ago.

I just checked out that site. The address seems familier. Like maybe the old T/C factory? just a thought.

CLOVERLEAF™ BARRELS BY GREEN MOUNTAIN Rifle BARREL®

They chose a good barrel. The safety system and hammerless design are also interesting. Im not a big fan of exposed hammers.

Im very skeptical of any coating IN a barrel. Rifle grade 416R stainless with a external coating like BlackIce would be much nicer IMO.

So am i. IMO: Coatings in bores lead to sloppy or no cleaning: We all know where that goes.

The first US artillery piece with a chrome lined barrel was the 175mm gun. After about 50 rounds the chrome hung in shreds inside the bore. Accuracy was not affected but it did look awful.
