BP muzzle loading firearms (non-cartridge) and replicas thereof are exempt and you can buy them through the mail.

No ffl and that aint all.  There is NO SIZE LIMIT!  If you're man enough to load it, you can own it. 3" bore?  No problem.  If you have to haul it on a railcar as long as it loads from the front and uses bp or a bp substitute the BATFE considers it as a toy.

To purchase, you do not need an FFL.  If you want to ship one to someone, there are places it's illegal, so you might want to be careful.  I doubt anywhere in TN is going to be one of those places you can't mail order one though.

Under .fed law no FFL required.  State law may differ (CA, NY, NJ, MA & other occupied areas).

MI makes you get a purchase permit and register a black powder revolver.

Not the last I heared, only if you convert it to use modern ammunition, though some stores insist on perchase permits, there not required though last I asked....

As far as FFL's, it's not just muzzle loaders ALL Black powder weapons are considered antiques includeing cartridge arms as long as that caliber is no longer made, and is not readily available, also any origionals that were produced in 1898, or earlier are also considered antiques regardless of whethor or not they take modern ammunition....

Black powder pistols are regulated in NYS if you also possess the powder, caps and ball etc. to fire it. In that case you are required to register the pistol on your pistol license. If you do not possess the "ammunition" a BP pistol is not regulated in NYS.  

New York City has it's own laws that regulate "firearms" so it may not be legal in NYC.

I did some research and found that the law was changed in 2004 (HB 5427, HB 5428, HB 5429). These changes made it so you no longer need a permit to purchase nor do you have to register them.

I wonder if I should burn my registration card for my 1858 Remington
