Bobby Hoyt 717-642-6696.  Talked to him last week. He can be hard to get on the telephone. He just bored out and rerifled a barrel for me. Results as always excellent.  He also makes a great barrel. Nice guy to work with and knows a lot about muzzleloading barrels. Tim

Bob is a genius with barrels.  If I ever told y'all about what he did with a mid-18th century French double gun barrel assembly I sent to him, I don't think anyone would believe me.  But hot d**m, he worked it out and I shot the darned thing repeatedly when he was done with it.  A 1750-1760 era gun!  THE BEST guy to deal with when it comes to weird barrel situations or barrels that need 'help.'

Funny this came up. I visited his shop yesterday. Genius may be an understatement. He hand built half the machines in that shop. Truly amazing and a very warm guy. That field trip was the highlight of my week.

I hope to get by his shop one day. He has helped me out on a number of muzzleloading and breechloaders over the years. In some cases he turned a non shooting firearm into a safe shooter.
