FOR SALE Hoyt .62cal. Jaeger barrel.

[EC121]

This is a project I quit on. I wanted to inlet barrel just to learn how. It went well until the ramrod hole ran out too far. Since the wood was free I sawed it in half and will sell the barrel. It is a Hoyt .62cal. 31" barrel. Hoyt cut the dovetails before he sold it. I cut some of the metal off the tang. They are usually way too thick for good bending. I knocked out the underlugs because they were drilled. $300 plus postage.

The .62 is the caliber of the future . The 62 rifle parts you sold me are beginning to take shape. I think.

If there is no interest, I have two more stocks. This time I'll send the barrel and wood off to be properly inletted and build one myself. I have visions of a .62cal. poorboy jaeger sort of thing. Might try this one with a side grinder ala Jack Garner. He built many a rifle with a side grinder and belt sander.

With two hunting seasons carrying a .62 over my shoulder, I can highly recommend this caliber. It is true smashing power

What size ball and patch do you use...?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

I think the .62 caliber balls are turning out of the old Dixon's mold at around .607", and the patch is conventional 0.018" pillow ticking lubed with bear grease I rendered. Balls weigh 335 grains, pretty close to pure lead. I have killed several deer with this gun, and the ball just keeps going. The first deer I shot chest-on, and the ball exited through a tiny, neat little hole in her rear hind quarter. My friend who was with me when I shot wears hearing aids, and he turned to me after she dropped and asked if I heard the ball crashing and ricocheting off through the woods, which I confirmed. The gun is sighted in at a 100-yard point blank point-of-aim straight on hold whatever you want to call it. After 100 yards, however, the ball drops like a bag of cement.

Thank you so much for the detailed response...!

Thanks. Sounds like a nice barrel, but won't work for what I'm looking for.
