There is no FFL for black powder except in a few states. Is she referring to your state? Otherwise you are good for straight mailing except i believe its wise to keep details of the transaction permanently. I have no such notion as to add complexity to anything especially firearms but I am interested in relief of liability. A bill of sale isnt required but yes, why not? End of story.

This is not correct.

Muzzleloaders can be sold and mailed most anywhere in the US. A black powder cartridge gun goes thru an FFL regardless of when made.

The OP was speaking specifically about muzzleloaders, but yea, if they can fire or easily be retrofitted to fire modern cartridges they are not exempt. So Colts and Remingtons for the most part. It’s not about muzzleloaders. It’s the ability to fire modern cartridges that makes a gun ‘modern’ to the BATF. Just because it’s a revolver or a breech loader doesn’t mean it’s not exempt, but, it’s true, my answer wasn’t accurate. Thanks for correcting me. I’m having a slow brain day.

Lol! I subscribe to happy wife....happy wife!

You do not need an FFL to do a transfer per the law of the land.

If your wife is "She Who Must Be Obayed", I am sure you can get an FFL to take your money.

I am always interested in a good deal, so I would like to know what you want to sell. And if the price is good enough, I would play FFL. I have a curio and relic FFL.

Sorry, but this information is not true either. While Colts and Remingtons can indeed be retrofitted to accept modern cartridges through the use of cylinders manufactured specifically for that sort of thing, they are still exempt from regulations. Of course, it goes without saying that the gun cannot be shipped with a conversion cylinder in place. And even then a simple solution exits - ship the gun separately from the cylinder.

That may not be the case for every state, but even here in California, arguably one of the worst states for firearms ownership in the nation, we can buy and sell cap and ball pistols freely and without regulation.
