1806 Ezekiel Baker RIFLE Guns Practice & Observations Shooting Color Illustrated

1806 Ezekiel Baker RIFLE Guns Practice & Observations Shooting Color Illustrated

 

Ezekiel Baker was a renowned English gunsmith who popularized his own design of rifle named simply the ‘Baker Rifle’. This 1800 firearm inspired the publication of his book ‘Practice and Observations with Rifle Guns’ in 1804. This book is a small but impressive firearms manual with instruction on loading, aiming, firing, and cleaning rifles, as well as the various positions and stances many shooters take. The incredible full-page color engravings that supplement the descriptions are highly desirable as well.
