British Army Baker Rifle for Sale. 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 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 a Baker Rifle from us as well. In addition we supplied our Baker Rifles to both the famous historic site the Alamo and the 2004 movie of the same name.

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.

Please note there are a number of questionable quality replica Baker Rifles being sold on online auctions, etc. These copies are not the Baker Rifle being offered here. 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.

Our Guarantee
If upon receiving your musket you are not completely happy with your purchase, you may return it for a refund. All we ask is you cover the shipping costs. It has to be returned in two weeks of receipt and be in its original state (unaltered and unmodified).
Non-Firing State
We sell historically accurate muskets and pistols in a non-firing state for demonstration purposes. This allows us to comply with various local, state, national and international firearms regulations, along with shipping company policy restrictions. A certified gunsmith may decide to alter a musket or pistol to a firing state by drilling the vent hole and test firing it. No need to remove the breech plug. We are not legally responsible for any changes from its present state. Please read our Conditions of Use and Legal Disclaimer. The customer is expected to be aware of the laws of their locality that govern products of this nature.
