Bob Hoyt, miracle worker

[nkbj]

Saw a Euroarms Volunteer with slightly corroded rifling yesterday. Just about the first thing I thought was whether or not Mr. Hoyt could turn it into a .47 caliber to use paper patched. Got out of there while the money was still in my pocket.

Mr. Hoyt has also resurrected countless original U.S. military weapons in the hands of North-South skirmishers. He is a national treasure indeed.

I find all this very interesting , due to I have been looking for a GM Barrel 1:70 for my TC .54

Could he re bore a 1:48 .54 To A 1:70 .54. Or would I have to go up another cal. in order for him to have more material to work with.

I talked to him a month or so back about having a TC .50 bored out to .54, and he said he could give it whatever twist rate I wanted. Just haven't gotten around to mailing it off yet.
