This has undoubtedly been brought up here before, but who's the man to send a shot out 54 cal barrel to be refreshed up to 58 cal?

Many here, myself included, use Bobby Hoyt for reboring and relining barrels.

Yup. Send it to Bobby. It may take a little work to get in touch with him. He doesn't do email, so a phone call is your only option, but he does great work at very good rates.

Whether you can rebore to 58 cal will be dependent on barrel diameter & depth of dovetail cuts, if any. Hoyt can put a liner in as well to give you brand new rifling in 54 if necessary.

I got Jesse from JES Reboring on the phone not too long ago to ask him this very question. I have a 50 cal that I would like to make 54. Jesse is THE man to rebore lever rifles but he recommended I send my muzzleloader barrel to his good friend at The Gun Works in Springfield Oregon.
I was also told to talk to Bobby Hoyt by other folks on the internet.

Mr. Hoyt recently rebored a ruined 50 caliber Renegade barrel to 52 For me. I was absolutely stunned by the deep old timey looking round bottom rifling. First two shots 50 were about an inch apart. With a tight patched 515 round ball. The twist is 1-60.
