Here are the firearm rules as explained to me by my FFL who has been doing this for a very long time and based on my Gun Broker experience.

- Muzzle loading fire arms including modern reproductions do not "generally" require a FFL transfer. There are some places that do he said and he seldom deals with them so he said to have the buyer check local laws. The term muzzle loader means that a "cartridge" can not be used in any way.

- Selling any gun that uses a cartridge, even a relic or antique or buying one from a private seller requires a FFL if it crosses state lines. If you sell one then it is federal law that comes into play he noted and even states with very lax laws require the FFL. If selling, make sure to get a copy of the FFL and if the license holder says no, something is fishy! What happens at the other end is on the FFL
such as wait times, etc.

- If you have a FFL or a curio and relic license then you can receive the gun and if old enough then the C&R can be used.

So far I have sold a dozen guns through Gun Broker and all went to the persons FFL as they used cartridges. I have bought several muzzle loaders through Gun Broker and they all came to my house.
