1805 BAKER RIFLE .63
It was the 1798, when, answering to the need to equip the British Army with a rifled bore gun, the gunsmith Ezekier Baker introduced the Baker rifle of the same name, later developed in six different versions, remaining in service from 1800 to 1837. Our version reproduces the 1805 model, recognized worldwide for its precision qualities, historically documented and illustrated by the story of the sharpshooter Thomas Plunkett, rifleman of the first battalion of the 95th regiment, who, on January 3, 1809, in Cacabellos, Spain, during the Corunna retreat, was able to deadly wound the French General Auguste-Marie-Francois Colbert, shooting with his Baker rifle at a distance of approximately 300 yards. The PMG quality barrel, equipping our rifle reproduction, features the adjustable rear sight and the bayonet lug. The stock, made of walnut, is embellished with brass fittings while the lock, whose mechanics are made from solid steel worked with CNC machines, is finished with an old silver treatment
