muzzleloaders should fall under the category of firearm...............
Generally not, you are prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm.
A 'muzzle loader' is any firearm (or cannon) which does not have a breech mechanism and which is 'charged' (loaded with powder and shot) from the muzzle end of the barrel.
Nothing, really.

Not unless the rifle is one that can readily be converted to a conventional firearm. A muzzle loader is not defined as a firearm under Federal law. Please note, however- IF a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to criminal history, in Virginia they are also prohibited from possessing black powder- and by Federal law from possessing 209 shotgun primers (used by some muzzleloaders)
No. Regardless of Pennsylvania laws, it is a FEDERAL offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm - it has been ruled that muzzle-loading black powder arms fall under the category and definition of firearms. (USC, Title 18)
Black powder, or a black powder substitute such as Pyrodex. Smokeless powder (modern gun powder) should not be used in a traditional muzzle loading firearm.
No. While Federal law does not consider a true antique, such as a muzzle loader or pre-1899 gun to legally BE a firearm, Georgia STATE law does not make that distinction, and DOES prohibit possession of those by a convicted felon. You should contact the Georgia State Police for addition information.
how do you take apart the slide mechanism in a muzzle loader
do u know where i can finds parts for a New Frontier muzzle loader at
Have conviction of domestic violence, can i buy a muzzle loader at a gun store legally?
Depends on the laws in that state, and the type of muzzle loader. Under Federal law they cannot use a gun with 209 primers (shotgun primers) as the primers are considered ammunition. In some- but NOT all states, they can hunt with a caplock or flintlock.
