Selling muzzleloaders

[Isaiah M]

Hey there I came across a muzzleloader with al the equipment. I figured I could learn how to shoot one and sell it for most of my money back it's a knight 50cal with everything needed. But I'm not sure how to legally sell it? Is an FFL required or just sell it to a licensed individual with a fid?

No FFL required. You don't even need a Fid unless you're selling firing components with it

 

[Isaiah M]

Fire components meaning slugs, powder ect?

 

[01906]

Yes, powder,caps, primers

Don't just learn to shoot it, learn to clean it too or it will be worthless.

Don't just learn to shoot it, learn to clean it too or it will be worthless.

Everything come with responsibility, it had minor rust when I got it it and got the barrel gleaming before I fired it. Thanks though.

To be clear, in Mass:

There is no license required, for sale or purchase of a primitive firearm, You must be over 18 to purchase.

To purchase powder, cap, and ball for a primitive firearm, you need an FID/LTC. To possess powder, cap, and ball, you do not need an FID/LTC.

If the arm takes a 209-style primer (inline) then an FID /LTC is required for posession of the primer(s).

muzzleloaders are not like smokeless powder guns, you need a bucket to clean those f***ers well even after using pyrodex. Clean the piss out of them after you shoot them, like right away or they will turn into rusty pipes overnight.
