I assume this has to have been discussed, but I found limited info in my searching. What I did find implies that you can own a black powder revolver in MA without an FID/LTC, but you need at least an FID for the powder itself. I have an LTC so I'm not concerned about the powder, etc.
My questions are: Are black powder revolvers exempt from the AG list? Can they be mail ordered (or does ATF state line stuff start kicking in with mail order?) If no mail order, does anyone know of a place in MA that sells them?
Long story short, I live in MA, have an LTC-A, and want a black powder revolver (reproduction, not C&R stuff).
Thanks!
ETA: With some more searching found more info that seems to imply they just are completely unregulated (even in MA). I guess I just find this hard to believe...
