[QUOTE="bngthmpsn, post: 278398, member: 17301"] I've been thinking of building a Baker Flintlock. This is an English gun built around 1700 or so. Supposedly the first sniper rifle. It has Colran barrels and the lock is cast from the original. Only problem is the lock comes in a kit and it has to be drilled, and the frizzen, springs etc. have to be hardened and tempered. I have built a few locks but the springs were already tempered. This could be a challenge but the rifle is supposed to shoot 2 MOA at 200 yards. Might have to build it just to see if it really can do it. By the way, Getz barrel company makes a good round ball barrel 1:66 twist that is swamped to reduce wait. I have one on the flintlock I built several years ago. This is where you can find information about the Baker Flintlock. [url]http://www.therifleshoppe.com/714_Full_Stock_Bay.gif[/url] [/QUOTE]
