First remember that your state may have more restrictive regulations than the federal government. Check your state laws. They are usually listed under Revised Statutes on your states website. On the federal side, the BATFE goes by the provisions and requirements of the Gun Control Act of 1968 for the most part. On their website the number one most frequently asked question is about Black Powder Guns, and whether or not they are firearms. It stacks up like this: Any gun that uses a match lock, flint lock, percussion cap, or similar ignition system, that was made in 1898 or earlier, or is a reproduction of one of those guns, is considered an antique and not a firearm. For all of the particulars and exceptions go to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives website and read ALL the fine print.

None of the above. A black powder gun uses a lead ball or conical bullet that is packed into the breech on top of the powder with a small piece of cloth wadding. These bullets are solid, and have no built-in primer like modern firearms. In a black powder firearm, the powder is in a small bowl on the top of the firearm. The spark from the spring-loaded flintlock strikes the frizzen, dropping a shower of sparks onto the gun powder.

Previous answer removed. While it is true that under FEDERAL law a gun that uses loose powder and ball is not considered a firearm, the same is not true to Georgia State Law. The Georgia Criminal code does not exclude antique firearms when it defines firearm. Georgia Code - Crimes and Offenses - Title 16, Section 16-11-133 Bottom line- a convicted felon in Georgia may NOT possess a black powder rifle.

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.
