I have seen people ask about if Bobby Hoyt will do a Traditions or CVA barrel. I just sent Bobby Hoyt the barrel from a Traditions Buckskinner Carbine to have rebored. I spoke with him at length about boring it out and rifling it from 50 to 54 caliber.
He told me that he could do it as long as the breech plug was big enough. He said sometimes when he bored the barrel it will run into the breech plug threads. He said as long as that wasn't was the case that he could do it. He also said that the breech plugs were really hard to get out.
We also discussed the possibility of having him sleeve the barrel down to 45 caliber. He said that was a little more complicated and that he was really backlogged for doing that. Said it might take him until fall to do that. Anyway, we'll see what happens. Either way I will be happy.
