Under FEDERAL law (Title 18 US Code, Section 921) a firearm is defined as:

3) The term "firearm" means (A) any weapon (including a starter

gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to

expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or

receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or firearm

silencer; or (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include

an antique firearm.

An antique firearm was made before 1899, or uses loose powder and bullets (a muzzleloader) no matter when made.
