Baker Rifle

Where can one get a reasonable priced reproduction Baker Rifle that can be fired? I did see one Co from Canada selling one, but it's a smooth bore. Also, one from England that is way beyond my price range.
Thanks for any help in advance

Re: Judi's week, meeting a member, the Good, The Bad, The Fu

Hi Judy,
You shoot and fly! Ah, if I was younger, etc, etc. Anyhow, years ago I was taking glider lessons and I loved 60 degree turns. Once I stalled per CFI instruction in a termal; went up instead of down.
Ah, life is good!

Junk Yard Dog, re: Sat reply: I'm using Silver Bear heavy bullets and I'm getting used to the trigger to the point where it going off is a surprise at times. More practice need, I guess and will switch to prone. Eye surgery corrected eyes to 20/40ish. BTW: my Savage 110 & I can put bullet holes ...

Re: 1939 Mosin Nagant @ 100 yards

Thans for all the advice and comments! Nice thing about the M/N is that the front sight is far enough away so I can see it. I was using a bench rest set up, but I had had problems with the range benches, I can't get a good position or cheek weld with my M-1's, etc. I'll have to shoot prone if I can ...

1939 Mosin Nagant @ 100 yards

I'm a new member here and have only one 91/30 so far. It's a 1939 Tula, far as I know and yesterday I shot it for the third time. I got on target at 100 yards but the group (13 shots) was about a foot in diameter. Am I expecting too much from this old rifle and its worn barrel? I've read that even M...

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!

Hello guys, After years of telling myself not to buy another fire arm especially in another I finally broke down and bought a Mosin Nagant and it's still "in jail" at the gun store. All I remember is that the receiver is round and I saw a 193? date on it. Too much cosmoline to see much els...
