Baker rifle - Dyson replication......

[TFoley]

Well, today was a special day for a few people in my club who shoot BP muzzleloaders, none more so than for Steve, an infrequent shooter these days, sad to say. One of his pride and joy rifles is this replication of the Baker short rifle made by English BP specialist Peter Dyson a few years back. It is, of course, as finicky as all get out, but then, when it DOES all come together, it's a hoot. that .62 cal ball over 90gr of 2Fg, really has some serious authority. Here is a short clip of it in action this morning at the 100m range of our club on the Cambs/Northants border -



Enjoy!!

That is really fine! Do you have any stills of that rifle?

 

[TFoley]

I surely do, but for unfathomable reasons I am still unable, after almost 15 years of trying, to post them here. PM me yto get my email and I'll send you a couple.
