Under US FEDERAL law, yes, so long as it uses flint or percussion caps (a felon may not possess AMMUNITION, which includes 209 shotgun primers). HOWEVER, different states have different laws- in several states, a felon may not possess a muzzleloader- you need to check the laws in YOUR state (which State you did not share with us)

Can a felon hunt with a Muzzle-Loader gun?
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.

Is inline black powder rifles considered blk pwdr or not and can a felon own one?
Under Federal law, a convicted felon may own an antique firearm, which includes percussion cap and flintlock muzzle loading rifles. Firearms that use a #209 primer (modern shotshell primer) are a problem, since a felon may not possess ammunition, and the 209 primer is considered ammunition.HOWEVER- state law may be more restrictive. For instance, Georgia state law will not permit a felon to own ANY firearm, including a muzzle loader. You need to check the law in YOUR state- and stick to traditional muzzleloaders if allowed.
Where can you find a small rifleprimer nipple for a hammer type muzzle loader?
Rifle primers are generally not reccommended for muzzle loading firearms- the flame is not large enough to reliably ignite black powder or Pyrodex. There are nipples that use a #209 shotgun primer, and even then, it is reccommended that you use a primer intended for black powder. Check with Dixie Gun works for a nipple that will fit your rifle.
