Any known Canadian flintlocks?

[Rudyard]

As a near-complete know-nothing about early firearms in pre-Confederation Canada, I have to admit that from what I DO know, the chances of any form of Baker rifle 'finding' its way into Canada is unlikely in the extreme. Even here in England, origin of the Baker rifle, I've never heard of a civilian version.

Non the less there where Bakers modified and available in Canada .Not only the 1841 issue of 1.050 refurbished and new condition Bakers supplied to the Royal Canadian Regt based at Fort Niagra ( That prouved troublesome )Plus old Bakers not made for any govt purpose but simply 'getting up' old guns or parts for commercial trade .These may be just a one off . Nor could you discount the Rifles made to please the Indians made for Govt in various grades up to the the really fine ones made By Tatham .Rifles known but not made in Canada . I think generally the smooth bore Guns where more verastile & adequate for most purposes . plus lighter & cheaper . I speaking as a hunter only use rifled MLs because the Dept of Conservation don't allow smooth bores for Deer ,Wild pigs, ect ,Ive concluded that the smooth bore is quite sufficient fires balls faster loads in less time & has no grouves to hold fouling .and at the normal ranges in forests being mostly under 40 yards if that . No need for sights above the normal double shotguns rib . But unless it private land we go with the rifled , my old twenty four bore two grouve belted ball being a favourite but the flints & Snaphances ones work the same. only Deer tend to spook at the pan flash & are off like lightning if at all aware .However I digress .
