Was asked this question today and I gave the "deer in the headlights" look.
Guy has a short barreled muzzle loader  and was asking if it's legal. I have no idea.
I think he inherited it and wants to sell it but doesn't know if he can legally. |

Not if it doesn't use fixed ammunition. (I think)

I have a 20 gauge Howdah pistol with a shoulder stock that's blackpowder, no paperwork needed. I also have a shoulder stock on an 1861 revolver.

It was a general statement, not a specific statement. |

I believe if the firearm uses fixed cartridges it falls under NFA.
A muzzleloader that uses loose powder and ball isn't regulated. That is why a SBR such as a Winchester 1873 even if made before 1898 is. |
