These replicas are intended for collection, display and decoration only. The locks on the replica firearms are mechanically functional but are completely safe and non-fireable, requiring no federal license to buy, sell or possess them. There may be local restrictions concerning replicas of modern firearms and buyers are responsible for checking before making a purchase. Replica edged weapons are not intended for use and cannot take a cutting edge.
This French flintlock rifle, from the early 1800s, saw service on the European battlefields of the Napoleonic wars. It was used very effectively by the disciplined French infantry, who were highly trained in its use both as a firearm and, with the bayonet fitted, as a thrusting weapon at close quarters. This non-firing version is accurately detailed and has been used in several movies in infantry battle scenes. A great wall decoration.
