Bobby Hoyt rebore results

[Henry Miles]

I had BH bore my 54cal Browning MR to 58cal. It didn't turn out perfect, having some zigzag at the bottom of the bore in the last 4 inches. I called BH and talked to him about, explaining it shot good but you could feel the irregular rifling with the cleaning patches. He asked me to return it to him for evaluation and agreed there was a problem. He said he would make it right by boring it out and putting in a liner, no charge. I got the barrel back today and am even more impressed with Bobby. The liner has the best looking rifling I've ever seen in a barrel, looking at it with my $50 borescope! From the very first shot, after an initial wipe down, it shoots great with a .570PRB and .015 patch. I can even start the ball with my thumb and no patch damage, but I use an over powder wad and leather disc. I'm sure Bobby would not mind my report on his mishap, that he promptly fixed, working it in his busy schedule and getting it back to me in about 4 weeks. Be confident in using his services as he is honest and diligent by my experience.

I had a boss once that always said...'It's not about the mistake you make, it's all about how you recover from it'.

Sounds like Mr. Hoyt made the perfect recovery. Kudos to him for that.

Bobby lives by the premise: If you don't give good customer service, you won't have any customers to serve! His work is top of the line and if he does make a mistake he fixes it!

I just got back three barrels from him, 2 in .58 cal, 1 in .54 all were perfect.

Bobby bored out the barrel of my Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle from .50 to .54. He did a fine job.

Bobby relined the heavily corroded barrel of an original 170 year old M1842 Aston horse pistol for me once. Made it a superb shooter and as serviceable as the day it was built.

He hasnt done any work for me, only because I havent found the right project for his skill set. Everything I've heard is he's a "Stand Up" guy who is honest and keeps his word.

I had a Green Mountain barrel damaged by a previous owner Mr. Hoyt “freshened” the bore and after that it was easier to clean and shot very well.

My over-bore .54 received Mr. Hoyt's attention to become a wonderful .58. Now as soon as I get my newly acquired 50 removed from the stock (rough pitting in the bore) it can be sent to Mr. Hoyt to become a .54!

I recently spoke to Bobby and he said he is currently inundated with work. He said his turn over time is getting to be around 6 months or more.

Has anyone had him sleeve a barrel to shoot roundballs? I have several TC barrels that do not perform and looking to something with them.

The word is out on Mr. Hoyt, and his business is highly successful because of it. The wait will be worth it.

He will configure the barrel to your specs, i.e. anything you want to shoot from it.

 

[Henry Miles]

For a roundball specific barrel, he recommends 1:66

I've got a TC New Englander 54 cal barrel that needs to become a 58. How spendy is Bobby?

 

[hawkeye2]

A lot cheaper than trying to buy a barrel!

Bobby Hoyt AKA They dont make Folks like him any longer. Sad when the day comes he can no longer do this. The loss will be a hard blow in that respect.
