Depending on what state he's in, he can order a fully functional replica of an antique design without any drilling/machining required. This heavily depends on the website you order from and your state law (and most states do not consider curio designs and curio firearms actual firearms).

Source: Me being a Replica/Antique collector. I am amused though by how many states seem to hold this view that an antique design makes a gun not a gun. *shrug*

On another note. Remember OP, THESE ARE NOT TOYS. I don't care what the state says. These firearms of old have killed thousands of people and an outdated design isn't going to stop them from being any more deadly.

With that out of the way, check this website out! http://www.militaryheritage.com/muskets.htm (not all of these are fully functional)

you can also find items for sale from individuals on http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=musket

another good place to check is Cabela's (they don't have much of a selection but they do have some. They are also a bit pricey)

http://www.cabelas.com/category/Traditional-Rifles-Shotguns/104641380.uts (some old stuff but more sport focused for the exception of their pistols)

And don't forget about good ol miday usa https://www.midwayusa.com/traditional-rifles/br?cid=23221 (mostly modern sporty reproductions)

http://www.middlelovevillagetrading.com/NEW1717.shtml < these guys like the old military muskets and stuff as well

hundreds of thousands*

Why is everyone literally stuffting on me 1

 for attempting to help out? I've mentioned Pietta about four of five times already and none of you are satisfied yet? 2

1: figuratively

2: in all of your previous posts in this thread you seem to have thought that he wants a genuine musket even though in reality he knows that's out of the question and he makes that clear in the op

99% of antique guns are put on display in museums or are owned by private collectors. The prices of said antiques range from 25,000 - 100,000 USD depending on their rarity. I'm pretty sure that it's not a worthy investment no matter how you look at it.

what the hell do you think i'm trying to say

What do you mean these days

Pietta is a company that makes replicas of antique guns, and they still make them.

my point is that you thought he was talking about buying an actual 200-300 year old gun despite him saying

"are there any companies that make functional historical guns these days"

1700s antique rifles are way too expensive, you're better off buying a replica

There are no official well-known businesses that sell legitimate antiques, you'll have to look for specific antique dealers

Pietta is your best bet for replicas

Are there any companies that make functional, historical guns these days?
