To the OP,you still need a pal to buy black powder to shoot it,(

No you don't, you have never needed a PAL to buy powder.

Nope, you don't need a Pal for any components e.g. powder,primers etc.

"...you don't need a pal or to register it when buy a flintlock?..." Long guns only.
"...Have something changed?..." Yep.
"All black powder muzzleloaders made before 1898 are classified as antique firearms. Antique firearms are exempt from the licence and registration requirements set out in the Firearms Act...All matchlock, flintlock and wheel lock long guns are classified as antiques no matter when they were made...Percussion cap long guns and muzzle-loading black powder handguns made after 1898 are not classified as antiques even if they are copies of an earlier antique model."
"...newer handguns, including matchlock, wheel lock and flintlock handguns made after 1898, are classified as restricted if..." BP handguns are treated just like any other handgun.
"...requirement for a PAL or not is a matter of store policy not law..." Law, not store policy. "...no licence and registration requirements for antique firearms..." A PAL is not required by law.

Restricted flintlock requires PAL

Just note that for the purchase of a flintlock handgun a PAL and all the associated permits and laws are required. Blech!

Should clarify things. Keep copy on you if you are out with your flinter.

I recall ML's being refered to as "Primitive Firearms" not requiring licenses or registration.

That is correct for flintlock muzzleloading rifles, BUT incorrect for percussion (they need to be registered)

Only if there newly made, If they are origional, then again they fall under antique status

Yes you are quite correct. I meant to say flintlocks. I have a traditions deerstalker or deerslayer, its a deer something sidelock percussion. It looks like a hawken but has a synthetic stalk. Bought it to lengthen deer season.

As stated before, -----ONLY---- newly made percussion arms need be registered.

If your set on a percussion arm and do not want to register it, get yourself a origional in good shape, and have it checked over by someone experienced in such arms.
