GOOD NEWS ! ! ! I received a phone call from Mr. Hoyt today. We discussed what it is that I'm trying to achieve and we decided on installing a liner. The whole process he quoted me $200.00 plus S&H ! ! ! I thought that was outstanding. He did say he is about 2 1/2 to 3 months out on barrel work, but I could look to having it returned in that time frame. He asked to send him several of the conicals I planned to use and he would make the liner based off of that. Currently I do not have the mold, so I said to just make it .452". Needless to say, I've stripped one of my barrels and it is heading to Fairfield, PA in the morning. I can't speak of the work as of yet, but the rest of the rumors of a stand up guy seem to be true. Nice to talk to, listens to your wants/needs, gives you his opinion and very knowledgeable. This is going to be a long 3 months - LOL.
