What is an Inert Gun?
An Inert Replica Gun is a gun that has never been proofed or designed for use as a proper firearm. They cannot be loaded, and are incapable of discharging a shot or being modified to do so. The locks still function as normal, and can be cocked and dry fired, so from the outside, they are identical to our live firing matchlock, flintlock and percussion muskets! From the exterior, they are identical to the real thing.
Can I own an Inert Gun without a licence?
Yes, Inert Guns are sold for exactly this purpose. As they are not proper firearms, and can't be used at all for that purpose, they are entirely free to own without a licence. Inert Guns are a great way to own a historic matchlock, flintlock or percussion firearm, without the need for a licence, or without paying the price tag of an original antique.
