Any Baker lovers here?

[Russ T Frizzen]

I have a Rifle Shoppe Baker. The quality of it is amazing, with a perfect wood to metal fit and everything "just so", right down to the markings and stamps. The stock is of English walnut and the barrel is browned. Mine was made by TRS, not from one of their kits by someone else.

Search this forum; I posted photos of it awhile back.

I ordered a TRS sword bayonet, which is also a work of art. I waited for it for over a year. I did not realize that they do not produce a scabbard for it, and I've been looking for one.

I've been so pleased with the Baker that I ordered up a TRS M1803 "#15" Corps of Discovery replica. The order was placed in August, 2007, and it's not here yet.

I have a fowler on order from a custom builder since June of 2006. I should be getting it soon. Quality work takes time and good builders always have a backlog they are working out of.

I've got a repro Baker made in the UK about 20 years ago. A group of shooters/builders got together and each one did 12 parts ie one did the locks etc. It has a heavy rifled barrel and shoots well.
