   I dont know how the situation works in Canada, but here you can get Lee Enfield rifles for as little as $30. There are in poor condition ( by that I mean they have had a few zillion rounds through them and dont shoot so straight any more ) but for looks only would do the job just fine. Take out the firing pins and or the whole bolt and they would be totally safe. I am assuming you couldnt make anything to look similar for that kind of money.

   I have a nice long branch one with a new barrel, shoots like a dream, not for loan though.......:)

   best of luck

   Check with the Band Director of your school.  They usually have catalogues for 'Flag Line' teams that include pretty 'rifles' made entirely of wood with a pipe barrel.  They are usually painted white, but should be available in 'natural wood' coloring   Another source may be a VFW  (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post.  They may have 'dress' rifles used for ceremonial purposes only.
