You could have a modern or an antique one as long as the barrel is over 24" long and is unrifled. The majority of smoothbore musket have very long barrels so this would satisfy the condition.

 

If you buy an antique one, you will more than likely buy it off licence, as it is an antique, but if you intend to fire it, then it must be entered on your SGC and your department informed.

 

The same cannot be said of those of modern manufacture, they need to be put on licence from the start as they are obviously not classed as an antique weapon and so, not exempt.
