Baker 16ga shotgun parts?

Anyone know where I can find a stock set for an old Baker SxS 16ga hammerless shot gun?

Wenig will make you a set. Not cheap, but a Baker is worth some cash and effort.

Thanks, the gun is in need of some major TLC. I doesn't have a butt stock at all and it's missing the safety mechanism. It's going to be an interesting restoration but I think it's going to be one I'll really enjoy.

Great. Take it slow and enjoy bringing something back from the Junkyard Of Perdition.

Bakers were on a par with Parkers, LC Smiths, and LeFevres, IMO.

Good luck....

your posts prompted me do dig out my 16ga baker baiavia leader,serial number 17896F.the stock is not split or cracked,but it needs to be refinished and a new recoil pad added, i always thought it was a nice light weight side lock double barrel. eastbank.
