How to transfer blackpowder rifle.

[WEJ 1163]

I'm looking to sell a blackpowder replica musket and before doing so I was wondering if it needs to be transferred on a FA-10.

Thanks for the help.

IANAL, nor do I play one on TV, but insofar as I am aware, there is no need. In fact, you will probably be hard pressed to find a serial number on that musket, as they aren't even required to have those, making it a wee bit difficult to file an FA10 even if you wanted to.

"How to transfer?"


Hand it to someone!

That's a beautiful thing so it's kind of like I live in a free state if only for a while.

but you need an FID or better to get the powder....

You say; here you go.

pick up musket hand to other person ''here you go'' thats it they require no paper work as an antique as far as i know cartridge fireing antiques like old winchesters or even mosins or mausers that are pre 1899 do not require any paper work as well.

And the primers and projectiles...

No FA-10 is needed if it's a long gun. If it's a BP handgun, you need an LTC to even possess it, but still don't need to fill out an FA-10.

I do not think thats true. ANYTHING , a replica or not, a BP HGun and IIRC anything made before 1898, so some cartridge pistols can be bought or sold w/o a FA10. I'd have to look it up......thats a recollection.

You need an LTC to carry a BP handgun, but for ownership/transport....nothing is required. You can get them mailed to your house.

I can attest to this.......My father purchased a BP Handgun for me for my b-day and shipped it out to me from Oregon via the USPS

Actually, you do need an LTC to even possess a BP handgun in the home in Massachusetts. Below I've linked to two recent posts that I made on the subject:

Yes, one must have an LTC (or fall under one of the narrow exemptions to the licensing requirement) to even possess a handgun in the home in MA. Follow the chain laid out in 269-10(h)(1), 140-129C 1st para & 140-129B(6). Seay was decided before the MGL's changed in 1998.

By MGL no LTC is needed to possess certain blackpowder longguns, but the courts feel otherwise when it comes to the criminal penalty for carrying one, or even possessing a BP handgun.

It appears that the legislators forgot about 269 when drafting the law, and this is what you guy's in Mass. are left with.

No FA-10 is needed to transfer BP, but BP handguns are still regulated by criminal law, and require an LTC to even possess (or transport) in Massachusetts. Example #1,339 why the Mass. gun laws suck.

I've never shot a BP gun. Just a random fact of the day. Are they fun? How about for home defense? (I've gone full retard again)

In Masachusetts, make sure the person is 18. get a copy of their drivers license.

thats all you need.

they are great for home defense. If you get a blunderbuss, you can load it with 6 or 7 .30 cal balls, or 2 .45 cal balls, 3 or 4 .30cal balls and birdshot.

theres are a lot of loads you can use for a blunderbuss, and they would destroy someone.

black powder six shooters are great too, specially if you have one with a 12" barrel. Mine makes everyone at the range go "Holy s**t"

and they look great in court. They just look like an old gun that came from "the patriot" movie, and only has one shot.

In CT, its about like selling an air conditioner. I'd do a proper bill of sale for my own records just to cover my A$$.

Sadly, some of us still live behind the iron curtain. In MA, it isn't an air conditioner, even if they don't class them with the baby killing Glocks and AK47's...

I bought my muzzle loading deer rifle mail-order without even the need to send them a drivers license. No Federal regs, no State of CT regs.
