Mark... very nice Baker. Don`t believe your gun has the integral vent rib barrel (first variation) Can`t tell for sure but probably second variation vent rib...

I don't remember...ill pull it out tonight and take a couple more pics...I "think" I remember it being a pretty early gun.

The lowest gun in the 4 gun picture looks like it has a really looong LOP

Don`t recall the LOP. Of the four in the photo, the top Baker has the longer LOP...

Trap3

When it comes to vintage trap, you can't beat Randy Davis.

He has nice stuff:bowdown:

The scalloped receivers on the bottom two guns are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

That gun is sweet.

My gun is in the “middle” generation, with the rectangular post floating rib, single locking lug, but still with the snap on forearm.

The 100+ year old ejector spring was a bit wimpy and I replaced it with one from my parts bin, cut to length. Original spring is on the right. The Baker now throws Federal paper hulls about 8 feet and Remington Gun Clubs a little farther.

I had the her out today and did pretty well on sporting clays singles once I found out she shot almost flat versus way high as I'd anticipated. 44 ex 50 with Federal paper reloads, 1-ounce of 7-1/2's ahead of 700-X powder, about 1200 speed. Talk about diesel smoke on the closer targets. :)

One of the guys commented, the Baker looked pretty good standing next to that Perazzi.
