CQBArms "Then all those .54 caliber muzzle loaders or black powder shotgun owners are in for a world of hurt."

Absolutely not!

The original post included: "..."legal" experts know if the NFA act can in anyway apply to a hand held muzzle loader that fires multiple shots from a single trigger pull?"

No current .54 caliber muzzle loaders or black powder shotguns can be readily loaded for automatic fire. The ignition point has to well anterior of the usual location.

Sir please completely read my question and then please go the BATF website and read what is there.
Its my guess that the the BATF does not have any position yet on this topic since no one in recent years has tried what I mentioned. I might add to do so sounds very dangerous.

I was hoping that someone that knows more than me would respond.
