It took me a couple of weeks, I got him to answer his phone at 9:00 am.

He has been or may still be on a vacation and may be catching up before he starts taking calls again.

He's probably busy working on the ONE HUNDRED MILLION barrels I ordered from him.

Back when Bill Large was active his shop would have running two planers,two deep hole drills
and maybe three rifling machines.One of the rifling machines was an 1898 vintage
sine bar machine with miter gear drive and it could be heard thru closed doors in
winter.Bill would be away from the phone running a Bridgeport mill and also hearing
impaired,the chance of him hearing the phone was zero. I answered it so many times
that I took it as a job when I was in his shop.
If Bobby Hoyt has a similar noisy shop then he may not always be close to a phone
to hear it.Keep trying.

Yeah, Bobby is always busy.  He might have snuck out to get some deer hunting in.

Write him a LETTER -- yes - you know the kind- piece of paper, pen, write words on the paper to the effect asking what you want and in a short time he will write back. This might sound "glib" but he IS a busy man and has no time to stop what he is doing and answer the phone. I wrote him a letter asking for  barrel work and within two weeks I got a reply along with a list of all his services - no fuss - no muss and no miss-understands.
I understand that he moved his shop(?) and I don't know if this is his new address or his old one but someone here can let you know which one it is - good luck. The Freischutz Shop 2379 Mount Hope Rd. Fairfield, PA 17320.

A letter is a good way to get in touch with him. Also he closed the shop for a couple of months last year and wasn't answering the phone from like January to March.
