To become a dealer in black powder guns and accessories, you first need to obtain the necessary federal and state licenses, such as a Federal Firearms License (FFL). Research local regulations and zoning laws to ensure compliance. Establish relationships with manufacturers or wholesalers for inventory, and create a business plan outlining your target market and sales strategy. Finally, set up an online or physical storefront to begin selling your products.
In the United States, black powder guns that are classified as firearms under the Gun Control Act (GCA) require a Form 4473 when sold by a licensed dealer. This generally includes modern reproductions of black powder firearms, such as certain muzzleloaders and black powder cartridge guns. However, traditional black powder guns that are considered antiques (manufactured before 1899) or replicas of such antiques are typically exempt from requiring a Form 4473. Always check local laws and regulations for specific requirements.

Those numbers refer to the caliber (45) and the amount of black powder in the cartridge (70 grains) Smokeless powder should NEVER be used in place of black powder in muzzle loaders, or in the same volume as black powder in cartridge loads.
