Well LC, I offered to send him the money when I contacted him initially. I wouldn't have asked him to do it any other way. You're right, there aren't many trusting souls left these days....

AA#5 is what I load all my pistol calibers with except 45 ACP ( I have several # of Clays left over from loading 12 ga target loads). It's roughly the same speed as Unique (slightly slower) but, in...

I need to add, I sent him $20 extra for shipping. When he sent it back to me, it costed him $25.50 I noticed. He didn't ask, but I sent him more money. Just informing, so y'all can judge how much to...

bump

I need the above or another brand might do.

well, due to the cap shortage, I want to "speed" along the breaking in process

Yeah, I bet. How many did you run?

Noblade, do you just run the JB paste coated patches with a jag or do you fire lap with them?

I forgot to say the twist he gave me, 1:66". I added that to my original post. My barrel is 36" long, maybe that's why he did the slower twist than the 1:60" he used for the shorter Renegade barrels....

I got my 54 cal GM barrel that I had rebored to 58 cal today. He said on the phone that he "would get to it when he could" that he was covered up. Turnaround time was 3 weeks and 2 days. I posted...

I made one of these (Cherokee) in the '80's from a kit. Still have it. In their companion book they recommend .315 ball. Mine likes 30 gr Pyrodex P.

That was a very interesting read Bob, thank's. I have an old Mod '94 Win that seems to have been made the first year of their production. Serial no 119xx it says on the barrel: "nickel steel barrel...

I was told by "the net" that the best time was early in the morning before the machines started and he couldn't hear the phone. I called once at 7:30 (cst) and got an obvious answering machine...

My feeling after talking to him, is that he'll do anything you want. I think the 58 cal RB twist might be the best bet, best I understand, the the 62 smooth bore would be like a 20ga no choke- not my...

Beautiful rifle. I agree with elmacgyver. I'm not bad with my hands, but some of the stuff y'all do on this site is humbling. :smile:

I hope this turns out, this is a really nice rifle except for the barrel, which isn't Jack's fault.

yeah, this barrel came off a custom full stock Hawken that I had Jack Garner make for me back in 1991. I got a Ron Long lock, Davis triggers, really nice rifle. I was a lot younger then, and a 1x 36...

Off it went!
I told him what I was gonna do with the rifle and that I wanted accuracy in the 70-100gr FF area. I'll leave the rest to him. I asked for ball dia and patch thickness if he could give...

Yeah ford, what I was thinking as to his expertise. Guess I should ask too, does his 58 shoot .570 or .575 RB?

That's what I'll do lead chucker, I'll tell him how much powder I want to use and let him decide. Mine being 36 in. may make a difference. Thank's for all the input guys! It's interesting that your...

Fee was 125$, I will enclose 20$more on the MO for return shipping (he said that was adequate). I will place a note with the barrel. Do I need to specify radius rifling?

I'm about to send Mr Hoyt a 36x1 in 54 cal barrel to be rebored to 58 cal. My main purpose for this gun is just shooting targets 50-75 yds out with PRB. I will, however hunt deer with it some too. I...

I agree with ALL of you

HaHa! GW, can't seem to get them to eat nutria tho!:smile:

I converted my '70's mag lights with the Malkoff bulbs mentioned earlier, they are great, VERY bright and the mag lights are the earlier, tougher models. They are indestructable.
