RE: Muzzleloader shipping to California
Yes, even a black powder revolver can be shipped to California without an FFL.
It's my understanding that Californialaw doesn't consider a BPrevolver a "non-firearm" for carry purposes, but just for purchase purposes.
California has the standard type of exemption lawregarding antique guns andreproductions:
[align=left](b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any of the[/align]following:.....
[align=left][/align][align=left].....(5) Any antique firearm. For purposes of this[/align][align=left]section, "antique firearm" means any firearm not[/align][align=left]designed or redesigned for using rimfire or[/align][align=left]conventional center fire ignition with fixed ammunition[/align][align=left]and manufactured in or before 1898 (including any[/align][align=left]matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of[/align][align=left]ignition system or replica thereof, whether actually[/align][align=left]manufactured before or after the year 1898) and also[/align][align=left]any firearm using fixed ammunition manufactured in or[/align][align=left]before 1898, for which ammunition is no longer[/align]manufactured in the United States and is not readily
available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.
