Thread: Display rifle

I have a rifle that has some sentimental value but is way beyond repair so I would like to keep it even if I no longer have my license. Eventually I'm hoping to have it encased in epoxy in a river table. I still need to plug/weld the breach and muzzle at some stage so I won't start to register any of my firearms until I get to that stage. Does anyone know what the hurdles will be with this new system ? Does it still need to be registered or secured ? As this would kinda defeat the purpose.
