Frequently Asked Questions

Does this item require an FFL transfer to purchase?
No. As a traditional muzzleloading firearm, this model qualifies for the antique firearm exemption in federal law (18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3)) and ships directly to your door with no FFL transfer or background check required. A handful of states and cities do regulate black powder firearms on their own, so confirm your local rules before ordering.

What skill level is needed to assemble this kit?
These kits arrive pre-fitted at the factory, so assembly is mostly finish work and final fitting rather than gunsmithing from raw parts. Clear instructions are included, and it’s a well-established project for a first-time builder with basic hand tools.

Can this ship to my state?
Most states allow direct shipment of black powder firearms, but a few restrict or prohibit it. Confirm your state and local regulations before ordering.
