    Looking for a musket or old rifle for decoration

    I'm looking for a non-working musket or antique rifle to hang over my mantle. This is for decorative purposes only. Any leads suggestions would be appreciated.

    you can buy a milsurp T53 rifle for 90dollars and remove the firing pin. Unless you don't have a mass LTC then forget about that.

    Thanks guys. No license so it can't be operable. I'm definitely looking for something weathered and a little beaten. I don't want anyting new looking.

    There are replicas made of pot metal. Otherwise you might need a trigger lock [for a rifle that is not antique]. I'm serious.

    Any firearm with a receiver actually made before Jan. 1, 1899 is legally "antique." and not considered a "firearm" under Federal law
