Don't forget to add the frown once you realise you have trouble finding folk with Polish\French\English '39 - '41 impressions.

Even in Canada you don't need a license for a musket.

Yes you do.

Yes you do.

"All black powder muzzleloaders made before 1898 are considered antique firearms. Antique firearms are exempt from the licence and registration requirements set out in the Firearms Act."

"All matchlock, flintlock and wheel lock long guns are considered antiques no matter when they were made. Like older firearms of these types, they are exempt from the licence and registration requirements set out in the Firearms Act."

This is from the RCMP website.

Yeah, I looked to. They're "non-restricted firearms". You still need a permit for it.

"Individuals who own only antique firearms do not need a firearms licence, nor do they need to register any of their antique firearms. "

Will you concede I'm correct now?

[Bluehawk]

But don't most reenactors use modern reproductions and not actual antiques from the 19th or 18th century becuase a) they're cheaper and b) they won't be endangering an historical artifact?

[Docm30]

As the page I linked says, flintlocks, wheellocks and matchlocks are considered antique firearms regardless of when they were made. As there aren't really many reenactors in Canada that use percussion cap weapons, they mostly don't need firearms licenses.

[Bluehawk]

Oh well jeez, now I gotta click links and read giant bold text in the middle of the screen? What is this, Communist China?

[Millander]

this would definitly be a pain for world war 2 reenacters

[Docm30]

Especially considering replica firearms are illegal without exception.

Really? I did not know that. The group was crediting people with real name. I didnt recognize your name naturally but I must say, nice name you got. 

But, that was a gold.

No, you aren't.
"Note that all other reproductions of long guns are considered non-restricted firearms. They don’t need to be registered but a licence to possess them is required"

One of our Corporals sometimes uses a real 1777 Chareville from the era that he's had refurbished and made fireable, though he doesn't fire it all the time.
