Been trying to get ahold of him on some barrel work, is this the right number for him
717-642-6696

Make it easy for him. Try sending a letter. Format it so he can answer the questions on your paper. Include a SASE. He appreciates respect for his time.

He is swamped with work. He does not sit around waiting for the phone to ring. He appears to have an old school phone with a wire attached to the wall.

Yes, that is the correct number.

Best thing is to call first thing in the morning. Once he goes out into the shop to work, he's working.

I too reached him the other morning and sent him 2 barrels to add to his work ...

 

[Greyrider]

I have been trying since February, never in the morning because didn’t want to be to early not knowing time zones. I’m in Missouri but I will try again
Thanks Dennis

I could be wrong but I imagine he does not sleep in the shop. There is no too early, I'd start calling around 7:00 AM east coast time. IF he is there you may catch him between calls. Once he is in the shop he will not answer.

If I was Robert Hoyt, with his tools and skill set.
I wouldn't answer the phone at all!
I mean Honest,, how many times can ya answer the same questions, over and over,, before you figure out it's a waste of time?

The best way to have a barrel done by Bobby is just to send it to him with an enclosed letter of what you want to be done.
When he receives it he'll call you to verify and particulars. Heck, I just had an original barrel rebored and I got it back and hadn't even paid the man, a very professional and trusting person.

 

[Henry Miles]

Call him at 7am EST and he'll usually answer while eating breakfast...

I love visiting with my customers but it makes it pretty tough to get any work done. During the day I rarely answer the phone but if they leave a message will call them back, pretty sure Mr. Hoyt does the same.

Has anyone dropped off a barrel to his shop? Just wondering if he accepts drop-offs as I'm in his vicinity (Gettysburg) on a regular basis.

 

[hawkeye2]

Yes, he'll take drop-offs.

Bobby is one of a kind now... have no idea how someone will fill his shoes....

You are so lucky. I have Greg Derr in my back yard!
