Who rebores barrels to 50 caliber

I have a #5 Rolling Block with a heavy barrel in 250 Savage that I am considering converting to a 50-70 Govt.  Any recommendations as to who could do the rebore, rechamber and modify the extractor?  The other alternative is to rebarrel but I think this would be easier as there would be no stock work required.  Tom

Tom, I had JES rebore a barrel on a pedersoli sharps to 50 caliber, I picked the bore,groove and twist and he chambered it and returned it in 2 weeks. It shoots great. Went with an Accurate  bullet, 470 grain version of the 50 government bullet.

Bob Hoyt has done one in 50-70 and two in 50-90 with fast turn-around time.

Mr Hoyt is held in high regard within the North-South Skirmish community, and if he can provide the twist rate you need he should be a serious choice.  In N-SSA there are a lot of barrels in fifty caliber or bigger, so he certainly has the experience.
