selling a black powder revolver

[doc8404]

I bought a black powder .36 cal revolver from an antique store. They told me that it was over a hundred years old so they could legally sell it with no paper work behind it. After researching it i found out it was made in 1973 and shooting it is proving to be difficult finacially. I am looking to sell it for what i bought it for but dont know if i will run into a problem since i was givin no paperwork behind it. I have no proof of ownership, its not registered and dont know if i will have problems selling it legally. Will I have any issues selling?

Black powder guns (matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system or replica
thereof, regardless of the date of manufacture) are not subject to FFL requirements...as long as they can't be readily converted to fire cartridges.

as far as the govt cares it's not really a gun. It's "primitive". Primitive enough to drive a bullet clean through a man but I guess that's not gun enough to be one.

Only for purposes of transfer without using an FFL - otherwise, restrictions on concealed handguns and loaded in public and where you may legally discharge it all apply.
