Under Federal law, (18 US Code, section 922) a muzzleloader that does not readily convert to a regular firearm, and uses percussion caps or flint (NO #209 primers) is not a firearm. However, several states DO consider a muzzleoader to be a firearm. I am going to refer you to the Indiana State Police, and the Probation/Parole officers for an accurate, up to date answer. MY giving you a bad answer could result in YOU going to jail, and I'd rather not do that. IF another poster has a factual answer WITH the Indiana Code section that supports that answer, it is welcome.

Is inline black powder rifles considered blk pwdr or not and can a felon own one?
Under Federal law, a convicted felon may own an antique firearm, which includes percussion cap and flintlock muzzle loading rifles. Firearms that use a #209 primer (modern shotshell primer) are a problem, since a felon may not possess ammunition, and the 209 primer is considered ammunition.HOWEVER- state law may be more restrictive. For instance, Georgia state law will not permit a felon to own ANY firearm, including a muzzle loader. You need to check the law in YOUR state- and stick to traditional muzzleloaders if allowed.
