He can cut square bottom, round bottom, gain twist, or your choice of twist no quicket than 1-13" IIRCWhen you get a rifle barrel bored out do you have to keep the current twist or can you get it changed ?
You can usually get any twist you want, or you can let Bobby give it the best twist for the type of projectiles you will be using.When you get a rifle barrel bored out do you have to keep the current twist or can you get it changed ?
I sent a barrel to him last week. Sent it to his old address but fortunately he got it anyway. His address as is:
2379 Mt. Hope Road
Fairfield, PA. 17320-9759
Phone is (717) 642-6696
His old address still floats around on current posts but this is new one
Does he have to have the hardware off of the barrel to rebore it? I can take it off but won't if not needed.Got a TC ready to send to him,but forgot to ask him about that.Don't want to make that Pain in the butt call again LOL!I sent my New Englander barrel to him a few weeks ago. He told me the delivery time might be as much as 6 months. However, he said that once he sets up his machine to a particular type of barrel he would do all of them that he had waiting. So, I might get it back early, or it might be 6 months. The barrel was pitted, so I asked him to reline it back to.50 cal with a conical twist.

This is really great to know.I just got an 1871.50-70 rolling block back from Bobby. Someone had freshed out the groove depth from .515 to .524. A bullet fat enough to shoot well wouldn't fit in the case. Smaller bullets didn't shoot very well. He relined back to armory spec and now it's a tack driver.
It was taken care of on his end. I guess he has been in business long enough all the delivery people know where he is.This has me nervous, did you do anything to get it to the new address or was is taken care of on the receiving end?
