Having *just* completed looking for a black powder/percussion revolver, I can state unequivocally, there are no restrictions on the purchase of a black powder fire arm ... at least as far as revolvers go, I am about to order a 1858 Remmington Army revolver through the mail and have it shipped to me next day UPS. No paperwork, no hassle (I think the same applies to rifles as well) I know it applies to flintlock rifles and pistols as well.
Kind of nice not to have to fill out all the paperwork, etc. and wait the 10 days (yes, I live in KA).
But keep it under your hat, or they'll start taking this fine sport away as well ...
Addendum: Just ordered a fine replica of this firearm, and am having it UPS overnited to my hotel room ... go figure.
And it doesn't even count towards my one-a-month handgun purchase ... I wonder what the rules are considering carry of this revolver. Yeah, I know, they'd get me on something if I didn't have the permit.
