2 new rifles

[Chris Hayes]

Today i purchased 2 new rifles. A t/c .58 "big boar" and a cva .50 mountain rifle. The cva has a trashed barrel, but is 1". Can anyone point me to someone who can re-bore this to a .58?

Do a search here for contact info for Mr. Ed Rayle, Gasaway, WVA., that's who I've heard good things about.....

Side note for future reference: What does it usually cost to do such a thing? (Got my eye on a BPR of unknown condition at the local pawn shop. Haven't asked to look at it cause I'm currently broke.)

Just got my Halleck back from Bob Hoyt.
Went 50 to 54 - was quoted 100 but sent 125 as it seemed low.
Job looks good - waiting on weather now.
Have no doubts it'll shoot as his rep is flawless.
Dovetails and screw holes will dictate what can be done.

Double check that mountain rifle, the .45 and .50s were 15/16 and the .54/.58 big bores were 1". Deer Creek has a brand new .50 cal barrel for that gun, I paid $110 3 years ago for mine, excellent shooter.

Hard to get him - do a search on Bob Hoyt barrels
Worth the effort.

I did. The cva is actually bigger than the t/c.

You might want to try shooting that CVA first, unless you are set on a .58. I bought an old abused .54 a few years ago with a real nasty bore. My ramrod actually chatters when pushing a ball down the barrel but the thing is as accurate as my GM .50 barrel.

Personally, and from very current experience, I'd search other very recent strings here about these artisan recommendations before contracting for any work.
