Yes. A black powder rifle is a "firearm" under the definition of USC Title 18. ** Most blackpowder weapons do not fall under the definition of a firearm. So whoever gave the answer above is partially wrong.*** The above addendum is INCORRECT: Read the statute! It specifically addresses black powder arms. Felons ARE prohibited their ownership or possession.

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 an ex-felon own a black powder rifle in Maine?
The prohibition against convicted felons owning firearms is contained in the portion of Title 18 of the U.S. Code, which addresses the possession of firearms by convicted felons, and does specifically include black powder arms.To the the best of my knowledge it does not disallow ownership of GENUINE (i.e.: REAL) antique firearms. The fact that they may be shipped and dealt with without regard to signatures or background checks is in another portion of federal law what does NOT address criminal possession. The federal CRIMINAL Code DOES make them unlawful for a convicted felon to own or possess.
