Depends on where you aer located- different laws in different places. In MOST of the US, muzzle loading black powder firearms are not considered firearms under law- they are antiques- no matter when made- and the only requirement is that you be an adult. However, you need to check the laws where YOU live- and you did not tell us that.
Assuming you are of legal age to purchase, black powder or smokeless powder for reloading can be purchased from gun shops. Yes, proof of age is required.
In Michigan, a background check is not required to purchase a black powder gun, as black powder firearms are generally classified as antique firearms. However, it is important to note that buyers must still comply with federal laws and regulations regarding the sale of firearms. Always check local laws and regulations, as they can vary and may have specific requirements.

In North Carolina, a pistol permit is not required to purchase or possess a black powder pistol. However, you must be at least 18 years old and can purchase black powder firearms without a permit.

In the United States, black powder guns that are classified as firearms under the Gun Control Act (GCA) require a Form 4473 when sold by a licensed dealer. This generally includes modern reproductions of black powder firearms, such as certain muzzleloaders and black powder cartridge guns. However, traditional black powder guns that are considered antiques (manufactured before 1899) or replicas of such antiques are typically exempt from requiring a Form 4473. Always check local laws and regulations for specific requirements.
It is illegal to purchase or possess black powder for use in modern firearms like the Barrett M82. Black powder is considered an explosive and is highly regulated under federal law. It is recommended to use commercially available smokeless powders specifically designed for these firearms.
It depends on the state law in the state you live in. In most states you will need a concealed weapon permit. So long as you have a CWP you should be fine, not the best for personal protection, but it will work.
