Under FEDERAL law, yes- if it is a caplock or flintlock (no 209 primer guns) HOWEVER- state laws vary. Some states permit, some prohibit. Georgia does not permit a felon to possess a muzzleloader (includes ball & cap) Virginia permits, but does not allow a felon to possess black powder. #209 primers (shot shell primers) are considered ammunition under Federal law, and a felon may not possess ammunition.

What is the state law owning a black powder gun in Missouri if you are a convicted felon?
State law has nothing to do with it. It is a FEDERAL offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm or ammunition of ANY type, ANY where, for ANY reason. (US Code, Title 18). It is not a FEDERAL offense to own BLACK POWDER pistols or rifles, if you are a felon. They are NOT considered FIREARMS as long as they represent such guns manufactured prior to early 1900, are muzzle loaders, cap and ball, flintlock, known as percussion guns. A replica such as a Colt 1851/1858 .44 cal revolver, cap and ball, black powder gun is NOT considered a FIREARM. None of the black powder guns, either pistol or rifle are considered FIREARMS. per code of federal regulations , and the ATF. Even a Federal Felon, can own a black powder gun, in most States. Even though the respective State is in error if they deny a Felon the right to own and shoot a BLACK POWDER gun, most felons challenging the States decision to deny, will find a long and expensive court battle. There are less than a half dozen States that do not recognize the Federal Law view that black powder guns are NOT FIREARMS. So if you are a felon, don't be in one of those States if you intend on owning a black powder rifle or pistol. Mail order,buy at a gun show or private individual, and have some fun shooting black powder.

Can a felon use a 1860 army ball and cap revolver?
There is at least one court decision which holds that a black powder gun, in this case a replica of a Remington cap and ball revolver, is a "firearm." In U.S. v. Green, 515 F.Supp. 517 (D.Md. 1981) the court refused to grant the defendant's motion to dismiss an indictment for being a felon in possession of a firearm, based on its interpretation that the replica is indeed a "firearm" and a "handgun" that he was prohibited from possessing. This was in spite of the BATF's opinion that the replica wasn't a "firearm" that the defandant would be prohibited from possessing.

How do you load a black powder gun?
To load a black powder gun, first, ensure the firearm is pointed in a safe direction and the hammer is at half-cock. Measure the appropriate amount of black powder using a powder measure and pour it into the barrel. Next, insert a pre-measured projectile (such as a lead ball or bullet) followed by a wadding, if necessary, to keep the projectile in place. Finally, use a ramrod to seat the projectile firmly against the powder, and then prime the pan or add a percussion cap, depending on the type of black powder gun.
Can a black powder replica be modified to shoot regular cartridges?
Possibly. There were several conversions for the original "ball & cap" revolvers, that changed them from "ball and cap" to metallic cartridge revolvers. HOWEVER- even when changed to fire a metallic cartridge, many are still a BLACK POWDER firearm- and will not safely fire modern high pressure SMOKELESS powder cartridges. I might find a conversion cylinder for a Colt Navy .36 caliber revolver, but the brass frame is just not going to be up to firing .357 magnum ammo.
