Providing that it was maufactured in 1899, or previously, or an EXACT REPLICA of such a rifle, yes, they would be in compliance with the Federal law which sets forth the firearms ban on felons (18 USC (921)).

Can a felon own a 1898 antique rifle?

Under FEDERAL law, firearms made prior to 1899 are not firearms, but are legally ANTIQUE firearms. Please note that date is not when the model was first produced, but the date that the gun in question was made. The Federal law that bans convicted felons from possessing a firearm does not apply to an ANTIQUE firearm- it is in a different class. HOWEVER- separate Federal laws prohibit a felon from possessing ammunition. STATE laws may apply to the prohibition of possesion of an antique firearm. Suggest you check with the Attorney General's Office for your state.


Can a felon own a black powder rifle in Maine?

The prohibition against convicted felons owning firearms is contained in the portion of Title 18 of the U.S. Code, which addresses the possession of firearms by convicted felons, and does specifically include black powder arms.To the the best of my knowledge it does not disallow ownership of GENUINE (i.e.: REAL) antique firearms. The fact that they may be shipped and dealt with without regard to signatures or background checks is in another portion of federal law what does NOT address criminal possession. The federal CRIMINAL Code DOES make them unlawful for a convicted felon to own or possess.
