• When is the best time of day to call Mr Hoyt?? I have been calling several times a day for a three days without success. I got a busy signal once. Now his answering machine is on with only a message to call back.

Last I heard was he was swamped with work. I got mine back in about 40 days, just a straight 50 to 54 rebore. Shoots very good and very happy with his work.

My first 50 yard results in my 54 New Englander today. 3 consecutive shots after adjusting elevation.

Since I am on the West coast, the time difference makes contacting him first thing in the morning is a problem.

I sent him a letter and self addressed stamped envelope. I included specific questions he could answer right on my letter and mail it back.

Must be a lot of barrel wreckers out there keeping Mr. Hoyt busy cleaning up their messes. Whoever wrecked the barrel of the .50 White Mountain Carbine he bored to .54 for me sure did a good job of screwing it up. We should all be thankful Bobby Hoyt is out there fixing the problems we often inherit from those irresponsible owners of good muzzleloaders.

He sure made mine a shoot again! Just like a new rifle . Thank goodness for Bobby!

I always send a little extra.

A great workman always deserves a bit extra!

Old thread...........

I sent my 32 barrel to BH to rebore to 36 cal. I gave very specific specifications. It did not go well. I sent it back and he made it into a 40 for free. That came out OK. I heard he was training a new employee. In the end BH made it right.

I’ve had a few barrels done. Only one was not as ordered but I didn’t give him a chance to fix it. I just figured for the price he charges it wasn’t that big of a deal. Nobody is perfect

I've had three done and they were all well done.

My Hoyt re-worked several barrels for me, all are superb shooters.

First five shots at 50 yards. Barrel is .54 caliber with rounded grooves and 1/66 twist:

I would expect no less. He’s old school honest.

Anybody know if he does odd calibers? Like rebore 50 to rifled 56.

He made me a pair of 25 caliber barrels. I would ask him but my guess is probably.

I know he rifled a .56 TC smooth bore for another forum member here. Just give him a call.
