That can vary with location. Down here in the Duchy of Corzine only actual antiques are excempt from the regulations. State regulations place a replica Murdoch flintlock pistol under the same restrictions as a modern semi-auto. I'm not personally aware of anyone having a problem as a result of this, but it would only take one enthusiastic official to make life complicated. This is another area where it would be wise to order it undrilled.
