Levergun barrrel relining
I have an old marlin 1893 in 32-40. The action is super tight but the barrel is shot out and pitted beyond help. I was think of doing a barrel liner. Has anyone got any advice or suggestions on who to get to do it? I already have 32-40 dies, brass and bullets.

Guys on the Muzzle Loader forum swear by a barrel man named Bobby Hoyt 1-717-642-6696.
I don't know if he does more modern guns.

Re: Levergun barrrel relining
On lever guns John Taylor is highly recommended ,he uses TJ's hammer forged liners. Prices have recently went up . 1876 I had quoted recently $550 plus shipping .
Abouther quote was Wayne York from Oregon $400 plus shipping for standard liners.
I can do it myself but cost for me :
$225 liner
$70 - $150 reamer ,rent/buy
$50 headspace gage
$140 liner drill
$565 if I do it myself

Re: Levergun barrrel relining
I will check with these guys. I sure would like to see this old gun shoot good again.
Re: Levergun barrrel relining
John Taylor is highly recommended but he told me little over a week ago he's not taking anymore work until he gets caught up. He said to check back in 3 months.
Re: Levergun barrrel relining
Hoyt does cartridge guns too and his prices are better than the one quoted above. Work is first class. He lined a damascus 12 gauge double for me a few years back for $250 for both barrels with chokes. He has done 6 barrels for me, 4 of which are muzzleloaders and he had to lengthen 2 of those.

Re: Levergun barrrel relining
Do you have Hoyt's email address so I can contact him about a barrel liner?

Re: Levergun barrrel relining
If you get a hold of him be sure to provide any details/ quote . I would be interested in what he tells you .
Be sure to ask if the liners are black powder rated only ?
John Taylor uses the best liners out there made by TJ's and are hammer forged chromoly. You use smokeless or black powder .

Re: Levergun barrrel relining
I've used both guys, and I would recommend Bobby Hoyt over others. Not going to publicly disparage others, but one other's reline cost me $700 to fix an off center liner that was out .011"!

Re: Levergun barrrel relining
I've been very happy with work done by John Taylor but I haven't had a barrel relined by him.
