British Army Baker Rifle. We now have reproductions of the famous Baker Rifle (1806 model) with rounded patch box, rounded lock with goose-necked cock. This rifle is made by the same manufacturers who made for the Rifles for the Television Series Sharpe's Rifles (other companies have falsely claimed this). In fact Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe Series, has purchased one from us as well. In addition we supplied our Baker Rifles to the movie the Alamo.
95th Rifle uniform recreated by our company (from this section)
Read about the 95th Rifles in Corunna 1809As the images testify this is a beautiful replica of this famous rifle. The rifle corps of the British Army, along with a number of other foreign armies financed by Great Britain, used the Baker Rifle throughout the Napoleonic Wars. In North America, the Baker Rifle was used by the rifle companies of the 60th Regiment during the invasion of Maine in 1814. The famous 95th Rifles used them at New Orleans in 1815. After the war, the 60th and Rifle Brigade continued to use them in garrison in Canada into the 1840s. The Mexican Army purchased large stocks of Baker Rifles and were used at the Battle of the Alamo.

The vents are not drilled from the pan into the barrel making them non-firing. The frizzens are case hardened to produce good sparks. The seamless tempered barrels are made of high-carbon steel (type:BS970 no.080M40) and the breeches are threaded. The barrels are not rifled(.62 Cal). (rifled barrels available - see below)
UK Customers: Without the vent hole this Baker Rifle can easily be shipped to the UK.

They have no grain to the wood, the muzzle of the barrel goes way far past the end of the nose cap, and the sights are bizarrely shaped. Do your research before buying.
