Bobby Hoyt barrel work

[hawkeye2]

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!

He did an antique fowler barrel for me a few years back. It had the nipple, a staple, a bead front sight and under rib all attached, no problem. In fact I had him solder the muzzle end of the rib back on, about 4". If he needs to remove anything he can do it and replace it after.

I just spoke to him on the phone the other day and he said he is really swamped, so turnover time will be longer than the usual.

Once again the legendery Mr Hoyt gets favourable accolades . Ide send him barrels happily, except this Anti gun world make it a bind to send barrels . New Zealand Post office workers union wont allow their members to be sullied by anything gun related & the loony left Govt add their negativity .I used to buy barrels by the dozen bundle them up and off to the post office and away they went in or out Now they witter over a single gun part '. Brave New world' &' 1984 'spring to mind .

Glad he is getting lots of business, but bummer for us on the wait. However, good things come to those who wait, right?

He’s faster than any other smith I’ve used in recent memory.

He's about to get a pitted 50 barrel for my Ranson that I want sleeved to 40 and RB twist. Honestly he can take all the time he wants on it.
