	Rifle - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Gas-operated rifles, like the Hotchkiss and Colt machine guns, have fixed barrels and are worked by a portion of the powder-gases which is allowed to escape from the barrel through a small hole near the muzzle, thence entering a cylinder and working a piston in connexion with the breech mechanism.
		In both rifles, on the left side of the stock, is a long-distance sight (graduated to 2800 yds.), which consists of an aperture sight near the bolt and a dial and movable pointer near the hand-guard.
		Rifles of r2-bore gauge, firing a spherical ball, were subsequently made, with broad and shallow grooves making one turn in ro ft. The bullet, of the same diameter as the bore, was loaded with a thin patch that took the grooving.

	Baker Rifle (RGJM)
		Baker's initial presentation of rifles followed the same dimensions as a standard infantry musket and were immediately rejected by Manningham as being far too heavy due to the thick barrel.
		Baker had manufactured some that were of the standard.75 for a musket, with eight deep cut grooves and others down to.625 with seven grooves.
		This modification was made by Ezekiel Baker after receiving reports of the jamming of rifle ramrods in the rifle stock due to the accumulation of dirt in the base of the ramrod channel or the swelling of the wood when wet.

		In appealing his conviction, Baker contends that the district court erred in both overruling his constitutional challenge to § 922(g)(8) and refusing to instruct the jury that knowledge of the law is a required element of a § 922(g)(8) offense.
		Baker objected to the determination of his base offense level, claiming that the enhancement of his sentence based solely on his possession of an assault weapon constituted an equal protection violation.
		Baker complains that the civil proceeding by which he was made subject to a domestic violence protection order did not afford him the constitutional safeguards associated with a criminal prosecution.

	Customs & Traditions of Rifle Regiments
		The first battalion to be armed with the rifle, to wear the green jacket, to carry no colours, to use the buglehorn to direct movement and to abandon the rigid style of marching was the famous 5th Battalion 60th.
		Equipped with the rifle, the Rifle Brigade and 5th Battalion 60th were the elite of an army whose musketry was superior to all others.
		On sentry duty the rifle was cradled close to the body on the left forearm, called the 'carry' (sometimes called the 'cradle'), a comfortable position where the rifle is ready for instant use.

		In appealing his conviction, Baker contends that the district court erred in both overruling his constitutional challenge to section 922(g)(8) and refusing to instruct the jury that knowledge of the law is a required element of a section 922(g)(8) offense.
		Following the denial of his motion to dismiss, Baker requested that the district court instruct the jury that to violate section 922(g)(8), a defendant must know that his conduct was illegal.
		Next, Baker argues that section 922(g)(8) deprives him of equal protection of the laws in that it "infringes upon the exercise of a fundamental right and operates to a disadvantage of a suspected class." Exactly what fundamental right or suspect class Baker refers to remains a mystery.

	Long-Range Rifle-Fire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But, whereas an average Baker rifle could make it very dangerous for a "head and shoulders" 250 yards off, the smooth-bore musket was so erratic that it was of little use trying to hit a single man at distances over a hundred yards.
		On the other hand, while the smooth-bore loaded easily, the loading of the seven-grooved Baker rifle was always troublesome, and, after a few rounds had been fired, generally very difficult.
		To give our infantry a rifle which, as regards hitting power, is as superior to the English "Martini-Henry" and to the Russian "Berdan" as those rifles are to the Snider seems to be a point worth securing in a match which, sooner or later, is pretty certain to be played.

		The rifle was originally calibred at the same as the infantry musket to standardise ammunition supplies -.705 inch - but later reduced to.615 inch which was the standard ammunition used for the cavalry's carbines, this made the rifle lighter and more manageable.
		Later still, the rifle was supplied with ball ammunition cartridges specifically made for the rifle, which solved previous problems in loading a bullet that did not fit exactly.
		The Baker rifle of the Peninsular War period was equipped with a 24" long-bladed, brass handled sword bayonet.

	The Baker Rifle
		Rifles weren't new in 1800, they had been used for hunting for nearly a century, and the huntsmen had taken them to war and intoduced Jägers, Chasseurs and Caçadores to the ranks of the infantry.
		The selection of the Baker Rifle as the weapon of the newly formed Rifle Corps was the end of a process which had lasted two years.
		Baker's design was not startlingly innovative, rather a refinement of existing practise aimed at military (rather than hunting) requirements.
