shipping black powder pistol
I'm sure this has been answered in the past, but I could not locate it.
When shipping an 1858 replica black powder pistol to a buyer, do I need to require an FFL, or just a statement that the person is over 21 years old?
In reading many of the ads they indicate direct shipment, but in reading the ATF web sight it seems to "imply" that it needs to go through an FFL for out of state shipment.
Any help would be appreciated.

Only FFL dealers may ship a handgun through the US mail; however, in it's wisdom, the BATF says that a black powder (muzzleloader) is not a firearm. So I don't see a problem.
