Robert Hoyt Barrels

[wattlebuster]

My brother in law had a 50 bored to 54 by Mr Hoyt. Top notch work. Scary accurate. I have Rice, Burton, Colerain an Hoyt barrels in my guns. All are good accurate well made barrels BUT my Hoyt barrel seems to be my most accurate barrel. Or I shoot that particular gun a bit better than the others but either way I hit better with it

That's pretty reasonable. I wonder if he would turn a .45 Gibbs (Pedersoli) into a .40 with a 16 twist. That would be interesting.

Hi,
That price was not "pretty reasonable". it was a steal. Bob probably spent $50 worth of his time just setting the job up.

I have 3 Hoyt barrels, a .50 1-56 and 2 .54 gain twist (one was a gpr .50 rebored to 54). the other below browned barrel he made to match another flinter w hook breach (now .50 and .54 hoyt) all shoot great He's a great guy and does great work at a very fair price

I spoke with Mr. Hoyt this morning and mailed my 3 barrels to him this afternoon; within the coming month he is going to cut rifling into their smoothbores for me...

Have any of you used his services to re-bore a barrel. If you how do you like it and how well does it shoot?

Heard only the best 'bout him; apparently he's one of those rare craftsmen that finds a niche and perfects it....

I wonder if he could make-smooth with my Armi Sport .69 cal. rifle musket? I have enough rifled guns.

Mr. Hoyt does fine work. Mr. Hoyt re-bored and rifled the barrel of my Navy Arms Hurricane Hunter to .54 caliber with rounded grooves and 1/56" twist. i originally posted this 50 yard group as four shots but it's a five shot group.

I'm threatening to happy birthday myself with a .653 round ball barrel on a M1816.
If I pull the trigger on it then it'll be one of Mister Hoyt's.

I honestly just send Bobby my barrels with a letter, and he calls me if he can or can’t do the work or if its going to take awhile.

Rifle Shoppe too, but with them I always anticipate very long waits.

I’m Ed Rayl’s wait list for a Ferguson Barrel.

I think armi sport makes an 1842 in smoothbore, I’d just part ways with the rifled one and get a new one.

Bobby could ream out the bore, but that just doesn’t seem worth it.

He could turn a dog bone into a straight edge.

You have a point, but for me to sell current one, then buy new one if I could find it, I don't think I'd be into that, but thanks for the idea...sometimes it just takes a suggestion from someone to get the old wheels working....

The thing that surprised me the most was when my completed barrel showed up in the mail with a letter stating the amount due. No pay before shipping...done on trust from only a phone call. Not a lot of guys doing business that way anymore.

today I received my 3 barrels back from Mr Hoyt, turnaround in under a full month's time!
the work is great, and I cannot believe how little he charged for his service!

That's awesome, and not at all surprising. He did my .50 into a .54 last year in about a week. I caught him at a good time, and I lovecose enough to drive rather than ship, but it was fast, very reasonable, and a huge improvement in accuracy.

My buddy had an original Springfield Trapdoor unmentionable refreshed by him this summer, and it shoots fantastic, too.
