    Pattern 1833 Manton carbine?

    Hi thanks for that.I assumed that because it was the last flintlock and came after the baker rifle that it would be rifled and not smoothbore.Doh! Yeah i've ordered a second hand version of British Military firearms 1650-1850 by howard l blackmore.

    Hi everyone i'm from the UK

    Baker Rifle?

    Hi thanks for your reply that persons blog is making interesting reading.I think i read somewhere on these forums that the trick to getting the baker rifle to shoot accurately is the wad.Which i think was leather and maybe pig skin.It had to form an airtight seal or something,which i think no...

    Hi thanks for all the replys.I have registered on the Mlag forums.Waiting for the email. I have found a british supplier of the Baker rifle.With the correct bore .625,correct rifling(seven square lands,quarter twist rate length of barrel). But the price is a little out of my league.At...
