Harlan,
Before you buy, you should check the "Approved Arms" list on this website. The approved arms are checked for safety and historically accurate. It does not mean that you can not destroy the musket. It means that the musket is safe under normal shooting conditions. If you buy an "Approved Arm", you can use the musket in the NSSA and Reenacting. If you buy a non approved musket, you can not use the musket in the NSSA for safety reasons. When you decide to stop shooting, reenacting, and competing, the resale market is limited to the Reenacting community.
Best of luck in your search, and I hope to see you on the skirmish line.
True Blue and Diamond Hard,
