Full description and what we offer
Founded in 2016 by U.S. Army Veteran Brandon Lolkus, Redleg Guns started in a small Slayton shop and expanded in 2022 to a historic hardware store building in downtown Chandler, Minnesota. This is a three-person operation that doesn't chase volume—they chase perfection.
Brandon earned his Gunsmithing and Firearms degree from Pine Technical & Community College and brings decades of combined gunsmithing experience to every rifle that crosses the bench. The shop philosophy is simple: "Accuracy isn't optional—it's engineered."
Custom Precision Rifle Builds - Tailored for hunting, tactical, or competition use - Action blueprinting and truing - Precision barrel chambering - Epoxy sleeving and pillar bedding to eliminate action stress - Every rifle gets zero'd and tested before it leaves the shop
