So if you were to acquire one like that in the US what would be the issues of trying to get it into Canada.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I can buy in Canada....

Plus there is a Pedersoli dealer here in Alberta too.

AND...a flintlock is considered an antique firearm under Canadian law so no paperwork or license required. A percussion model needs a license to buy. But flints are completely off the radar. Not even classified as a firearm. Weird huh?

So if flints are not classified as firearms then can one bring it across the border.

Antique firearms are not considered firearms for licensing and registration purposes, so you shouldn’t need any paperwork. You should still declare them at the border crossing. Antique firearms include any firearms manufactured before 1898 that are not originally designed or redesigned to discharge rim-fire or centre-fire ammunition; long guns manufactured in 1898 or later that are reproductions of flintlock, wheel-lock, or matchlock firearms; and firearms that are classified as antique by regulations.

Ive got that exact rifle in 50 caliber in my basement. Its like brand new. Think I have shot it once. I bought it used it has a couple of handling marks on it and a spot in the brown on the barrel . But nothing is that noticeable. Its still a good looking rifle.
