ummmmm, nope.
I always love such short answers that offer no explanation.
In these situations it is always best to contact your local prosecutor, your parole officer, or a lawyer that is familiar with local gun laws and your conviction.
In some situations your can petition your local courts and or the BATF for relief of disability which would effectively reinstate you ability to own weapons. Though if the local court grants the relief of disability it may not apply out side of that courts jurisdiction, again consult a lawyer.
Nope, it's illegal.

To the best of my knowledge unless you are a convicted felon you can own a black powder gun.
Upon installing the cylinder you have, according to the law (or at least the ATF), manufactured a firearm. So the simple answer is "No". It is not legal for a felon to own a firearm (gun) and once you install a conversion cylinder that pistol is no longer a "non-gun" black powder pistol.
It is FEDERAL Law that classifies black powder weapons as firearms. . . and therefore, prohibited to convicted felons.
If he was convicted in state court - not without having his record expunged by the state of AZ - If he is a felon convicted in a FEDERAL court he can never be eligible to own or possess a firearm including black powder weapons.
yesAnother View: Refer to 18 USC, Sections 921 & 922 which specifically define black powder arms as FIREARMS which are prohibited to convicted felons.In addition: Black powder itself is classified as an explosive, the possession of explosives is prohibited to convicted felons as as well.
Am unfamiliar with which of the states MAY allow this, but I can tell you that the FEDERAL LAW (USC Title 18) governing convicted felons and firearms possession specifically names and describes black powder arms as firearms - which are prohibited to convicted felons.
If you are a state-convicted felon, possibly, depending on the laws of your state. CHECK THEM CAREFULLY.If you are a federally-convicted felon, NO, black powder arms are included in the list of firearms to which you are not allowed access per USC, Title 18.
In the state of Missouri Its perfectly legal to hunt with a black powder rifle during deer season. In all counties
