No, as black powder firearm is still consider an firarm.

Black powder weapons are not considered "firearms" by U.S. Code, Title 18, they are "antique firearms" (under most conditions) and are regulated very differently.

NY code by differ you best bet is to ask a lawyer or prosecutor that is familiar with gun laws

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Felons are prosecuted under Title 18 of the US Code, and the definitions of blackpowder arms contained in Paragraphs 921 & 922.

Unless the blackpowder arm is a genuine antiquemanufactured before 1898, IT IS A FIREARM under the criminal code.

DO NOT confuse the BATF definition with the criminal statute or you could run the risk of spending up to 15 years in federal prison.
