Legal To Own 50 Caliber, Under $1000, No PAL????

Out of curiosity, it does not require a pal to purchase and own but wouldn’t a guy need a pal to buy powder for it?
A flintlock is considered to be a primitive weapon consequently no PAL required. Getting black powder should be just a casual purchase but, some retailers have gone full liberal.
 
I use 50 cal muzzle loader projectiles in my center fire ammo. I guess I have to be careful not to cross the threshold eh! I guess that would be considered a 50 cal variant!

Does this only apply to muzzle loaders or would 30 shot, breech loading flintlocks be considered primitive enough?

I have no idea about that one but a regular Flintlock can be purchased and used by anyone. They used to look at the ignition system to determine legality. An otherwise identical firearm but using a "cap" for ignition, would require the person to be in possession of a PAL. That is the way it was explained to me, but it could be all wrong. I think a call to the folks in Miramachi might be required to get the definitive answer.
