I would suggest that you call Mr. Hoyt to discuss what you want. Mr. Hoyt has no web page nor email. Call early in the morning and call often if need be. He will answer when he can hear you over his machinery. He's done several barrels for me and you will find a mountain of 5-star rating's on this forum for him.

Do a Bobby Hoyt search here on the forum for an hours worth of reading.

Thanks

Agree Bobby Hoyt is the guy. But it’s not freshing out. It’s re-boring and re-rifling.

Bobby Hoyt is the man for anything to do with rifle barrels.

Does he do de-farbing?

 

[Tom Compton]

Bobby can also line the bore to .54

 

[nightwolf1974]

Can he re-line a .58 to a .54?

Can he re-line a .58 to a .54?

Yes

I don't believe he's into the 'de-farb' thing. But barrels, he's a treasure to the black powder community. There are a couple de-farbers out there, a little searching should find one or two. Since the Enfield musket was offered already authentic from the factory, some of the de-farbers went out of business. Good luck!

Lodgewood does de-farbing on some firearms, excellent work by the way …

BTW, I have an Enfield musket de-farbed by Blockade runner, back before the more authentic ones were offered by Pedersoli. It is very nicely done.
