Robert Hoyt Barrels

[Bucky182]

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?

Bobby Hoyt has a reputation as being top notch for all barrel work.
All customers seem to speak very highly of him.

Never needed his services yet .....

I currently have two TC barrel rebores (one flint, the other percussion) in 58 caliber, radius bottom rifling, 1-60 twist. Have no other roundball barrels that shoot better. Would be a deal even at a price higher than what he charges.

He's the best.

Over the years I have had about 5 done and they are all shooters. All were trashed TC barrels that I have picked up from different people who trashed them from neglect. A couple were free. Bobby Hoyt's work is great and reasonably priced.

He bored a .58 cal barrel to 20 ga-.620 smooth for me last week. Very slick bore and dead on .620. Price was unreal cheap. I'm very happy.

Go for Mr. Hoyt, he is second to none! He rebored a Lyman .50 to .54 and it's a shooter! Much better than the 2001 factory barrel. Changed twist from 1:48 to 1:60. Much better for round balls.

I had a barrel relined by him, Better then the original.

I've had 9/10 liners installed in original barrels, both rifled and smooth bore. His work is top notch and priced very reasonable. I sent him one 52" original barrel that was a complicated job that I wasn't even sure could be done. Bobby made it happen. I don't think there is another machinist in the USA (or maybe the World) that could have done this particular job. I would not hesitate to send any barrel work to him.
He can be difficult to get in touch with (phone is the only way, early mornings seem to be best), but well worth the effort.

$50.00 plus $15.00 shipping

 

[reskite]

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.

Give Mr Hoyt a call, he will tell what he can do. My grandsons and myself are having a ball working up loads for my new smooth bore.

Had the 50 cal barrel on my 1980 or so vintage TC Renegade kit gun redone by Hoyt to 58 cal. Wanted more thump down range for elk. Got more thump on both ends. Reworked barrel is much more accurate than the original, and cleans up quickly.

He’s re-boring one of mine now from 50 to .54 caliber. He suggested putting a sleeve in it, because in his experience, they seemed to shoot better. He thought that it may be something with the “harmonics”. Looking forward to finding out! Also, he’s a great guy to talk to and will take as much time as necessary to make sure your satisfied.
