Yes.
In some states. like OH, you can be 18. Oddly, though, you can't carry it or buy "pistol; ammunition" until 21. So it beats me what they expect you to do with it, Maybe get a .44-40 and buy "rifle" ammunition?

Buying a gun from a dealer is controlled by Federal law- 18 for a rifle or shotgun, 21 for a handgun.
Under FEDERAL law, which applies in every state, you must be 21 to purchase ammo for a handgun. Ammo that may be used in a handgun or rifle may be purchased at 18 IF the seller knows that it will be used for a rifle.
Very simply, you have to know what caliber your gun is. If you don't know, take it to a reputable gun store and ask them to look at it.
Federal law imposes the following restrictions aimed at younger persons: A person must be 21 years of age to purchase a handgun or handgun ammunition, and 18 years of age to buy a rifle or shotgun or ammunition, from a retail firearm dealer. (GCA, 1968)
