Federal Regulations on Black Powder Guns

[Pappy Myles]

Just out of curiosity, what are the FFL requirements requarding Cap and Ball Guns.............

EG the Ruger old Army.

Is it treated just like a modern cartridge gun?

[Fairshake]

Don't say that too loud, they might hear. At the present time C&B can be shipped without a FFL. You can sell or ship as a private citizen.

YEah thats what I thought cause I bought one mail order several years ago.    I found a ruger old army but the guy wont sell it to me without an ffl.   oh well

Not to argue with a fool,     you know

Although Federal law treats C&B guns as non-firearms, not all the states do. Some states put more stringent requirements on the sale of C&B guns than the Feds do.
