Loyalist
Arms is pleased to introduce our
version of the famous Baker Rifle
for 2005.
The Baker rifle was
adopted by the British forces in
1800 and was used all the way into
1838. It saw service throughout
Europe as well as Canada and Mexico.
It was used in the war of 1812,
at the Alamo, and the Mexican war,
however this rifles' real claim
to fame occured during the Napoleonic
period under Admiral Nelson and
Sir Arthur Wellesley,(The Duke of
Wellington), prior to Waterloo.
Our reproduction faithfully copies
the 1806 model with the smaller
patch box.
There were many variations
of this rifle made by different
manufacturers from 1800-30's, combining
different patch boxes, calibers,
(.62 & .69), and hardware, etc.
Ours is in .62 cal.
Close up of lock with appropriate
markings.
The rear sight is a two stage flip
up design like the oiginal.
Correctly styled and fully functional
patch box.
All hardware is copied from an
original.
Close up of bayonet lug, front thimble,
swivel, and rammer.
Barrel is .62 cal smooth bore to
save on production costs, and to
make it easier to export to some
countries.
Sword
Bayonet Coming Soon!
Our continuing search for quality
and much research, has resulted
in the most accurate and functional
Baker rifle repro. available, except
for of course, the custom made models.
Customers have been asking us for
years to develop a less expensive,
but accurate version of the Baker.
Only after a long time of research
and obtaining all the reliable documentation
we could, would we
attempt to start this project.
These guns copy the weight and balance
of the originals very closely.
