Looking for Someone to Re-Bore a Barrel

[Beaver Trapper]

I bought .36 flinter a few years ago off Gun Post. Its a nice enough gun, but very bulky and front heavy. I was thinking of getting it re-bored to a .50 or .54 - the barrel is wide enough to handle it.

Who do you recommend that can rebore the barrel for me?

Thanks - Scott

Bob Hoyt, see info. Best time to call is 8:30am and must call him before sending the barrel in. Sometimes when he gets so swamped with work that he stops accepting orders/work for a few weeks to a month or so. None better, especially for the price!

If it's not a CVA or traditions, Bobby Hoyt can do it (717) 642-6696 let it ring.

An enlargement of that magnitude may require threading for a new breechplug. If a .36 has a half inch plug, that’s obviously not enough for a .54. That would mean your current breechplug and tang won’t work and you’d need to deal with that in your stock.

Good point. Best to send the whole gun. As I'm in Canada the import/export of gun parts is very difficult (thanks to the idiotic liberal govn't), but I can still ship a flinter without any paperwork.
