Baker Hammerless Shotguns
The Baker hammer gun of model 1897, was built especially for the use of nitro powder. It has all of the latest improvements, including lock plates, forward action locks, bridle on lock, low circular rebounding hammers, cross-bolted extension rib, top snap action, best English twist or Damascus barrels, solid plungers, compensating fore-end, and is a hammer gun in which it is safe to use nitro powder as well as black. It cannot be excelled for close, hard, long-range shooting in the field or at the trap. This gun is made in 10,- 12- and 16-gauge and of the following dimensions: 16-gauge, 28-inch barrels, weighing from 6 1/2 to 8 pounds; 16-gauge, 30-inch barrels, weighing from 6 to 8 pounds; 12-gauge, 28-inch barrels, weighing from to 8 pounds; 12-gauge, 30-inch barrels, weighing from to 9 pounds; 12-gauge, 32-inch barrels, weighing from 7 1/2 to 9 1/2 pounds; 10-gauge, 30-inch barrels, weighing from 8 1/4 to 10 pounds; 10-gauge, 32-inch barrels, weighing from 8 3/4 to 11 pounds.
To relieve the tension on the main springs, the hammers should be let down without snapping. This can be done most easily on the Baker by simply pressing the triggers when the gun is open and holding them back while closing the gun.
Loaded shells should be removed during this operation to prevent any accidental discharge through not handling the gun properly.
