    Small bore or Musket bore Baker rifle?

    I have a baker in carbine bore (.62) made from a Rifle Shoppe kit. It has a colerain barrel and it shoots very well with 90-100 gr. of ffg. I would advise the carbine bore for all the reasons that it predominated in British service. It is "more" correct for the peninsular campaign if you are a...

    British 1806 Baker Rifle

    I have a Baker made from Rifle Shoppe parts. I too became enamored of the Sharpe's series and my son ordered all the parts for me. I wound up calling the Rifle Shoppe for help when I realized what it would take for the build. They gave me the names of several builders, I chose one and got the...

    4F Blackpowder uses?

    I bought a couple of cases of elephant when the price was right. You can "improve" it by sloshing a pound back &a forth in a clean white sock. Remove most of the graphite and "schmutz" and it approaches the other powders in performance and cleanliness! Pep, in Cameron, MO

    Bondini Reproductions

    I have one of the percussion Hawkens. The furniture is brass and the steel is left bright. Single set trigger and very accurate. If it was a flintlock it would be near perfect. Pep

    Thinking about a Canoe Gun

    I have a .75 canoe gun with an 18" bbl made by Jackie Brown a number of years ago. It is FUN to shoot, kills squirrels handily at 20 - 25 yards and with a ball, will hold center of mass on a B-27 silhouette at the same distance. I think of it as an 18th century riot gun. It may not be the most...

    winged dragon on Rigby rifle

    Fleener, It looks to me like the emblem of the 23rd Regiment of Foot, the Royal Welch Fusiliers. They made a name for themselves against Bonaparte, possibly it was made for one of their officers. Pep
