Did you phone down to the firearms center and inquire? Regardless of what someone might say on here, it's the RCMP you have to deal with if they "come a lookin".

Scroll down to page 9, Deactivated Firearms.

But I think you are talking more for display than deactivation. As mentioned, it will have to be locked/secured.

Is it an antique? If so, then no, you don't have to do anything, though it would be advised.
If it's a modern reproduction percussion gun, then yes, it's still a firearm. Removing the nipple is an interesting issue since most provinces seem to allow you to transport a muzzle loader during hunting season with powder/ball in it in a vehicle if the nipple has been removed... that is however a provincial regulation, so you would end up needing to trigger lock for display I think... or really any other "controlling" device.

The second nice old lady said," umm I'm not sure"? Then transferred me to the BC CFOs office where i waited on hold for the second coming of Jesus.
Guys if you dont know the answer stop replying and upping your amazing post counts.

In BC that is only partly correct; you can transport the gun between hunting sites loaded but with the nipple or lock out and that is in the hunting regulations rather than the criminal code or firearms act. Once you hit the pavement, it must be empty.
Re the original question the spirit of the law is that a person cannot simply pick the gun up and load and shoot it. For long guns that is sometimes referred to as the two lock system. One lock is the front door and the second lock is either a trigger lock or a locked cupboard or similar. With that in mind, I think the spirit of the law is that the gun must be inoperative and I would think that removing the mainspring of a gun with a leaf spring, would probably most closely approach the second lock of the two lock concept. Police might take the approach that a nipple can be screwed in very rapidly and is therefore not adequately secure. Even though the common trigger locks can be broken open with a screw driver in a matter of seconds, in the eyes of the law they seem to have mystical powers

Asking if you called down to the firearms center was a basic and logical question for which you obviously thought was a good idea as well but couldn't be bothered mentioning in your first post that you already did so get off of this up your post count crap.

simple answer- no you cannot. removing the nipple does not deactivate. same as removing a bolt does not deactivate. even removing the drum( if it has one) does not officially deactivate it. the only ones you can hang on that wall must be welded.
hang up all the flintlock long guns you want. when then are unloaded they are not considered a firearm.....
