Cholla Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 There seems to be a great deal of mis-information on the shipping muzzleloader to TN. I always thought TN was a gun-friendly state so I assume the reason why some companies won’t ship there is company policy and not government regulations. Any TN FFL out there that can verify that I can legally mail a BP muzzleloader pistol kit to a TN resident? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 And by what shipping methods. Cholla needs to know. I need Cholla to know. I don't know. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 As long as the ATF does not consider it a firearm; pack it up and ship it via USPS 3 day priority mail direct to the recipient. TN does not have any restrictions that differ from what the ATF requires. No requirement to do so but when I ship to a private individual I request an adult signature because of the prevalence of Porch Pirates. ATF - State Laws and Published Ordinances – Tennessee BTW Some modern muzzle loaders are considered firearms by the ATF. You'll have to research the ATF website to get the list of specific models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 As I understand the law, it says antiques are pre 1899 and replicas. That's why a brand new Uberti 1860 Colt is an antique. It's a replica. That's why Thompson Center Hawken or a CVA Mountain Rifle is an antique. It's a replica. But an inline, bolt action, "uses a shotgun primer for ignition" rifle is not a replica, whether it uses black powder or smokeless powder. The pertinent word is REPLICA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I can’t quote you scripture and verse, but I have shipped and received muzzle loading pistols and rifles for 40+ years here in Tennessee with NO issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
