Uberti C&B Revolving Carbine Is It Considered A Muzzleloader???

[albayo]

I have been thinking about this for sometime and I thought I should ask.

I have a Uberti 44 Cal cap and ball revolving carbine, and was wondering if it is classed as a muzzleloader?

In New Brunswick you can hunt varmints most of the year with any size muzzleloader.

Its black powder, cap and ball, and has a revolving cylinder, but doesn’t load from the muzzle.

What do you think?

Thanks
Al

It is a repeating rifle so that may rule it out but I really don't know for sure,you could check with a game warden to find out. I have one as well and would be interested in finding out...I know that it is non-restricted.

id like to see what ontario's take on them is may be a neat little 25 yard deer carbine if its classed as a muzzleloader here

Hardly a deer rifle.

Hardly a deer rifle.

at close range it will do the job read the about max 25 yards or so

Some folks on this board have stated that, revolving carbines are restricted. Could they be restricted in one province and not in another? The firearms Act is Federal, is it not? Does the law make a distinction between Cap&ball revolving carbines and cartridge guns? Original as opposed to re-production? There seems to be a lot of different opinions on this in various older threads. Inquiring minds want to know!!

Here in gun-law-crazy UK ANY cap and ball revolving firearm - long OR short - is classed as a muzzleloader, else we just couldn't have 'em at all. After all, you STILL load it from the front, one component at a time.

Here, however, there is no way on earth that it could be legally used to take live game of any kind - here in yUK, anyhow. Minimum for deer is 1500ft lbs, and in Scotland, 2500fps as well.

It states in the FRT files that the Uberti C&B Revolving Carbine has a longer receiver and is considered non-restricted.

I agree with Tacfoley.
It could be considered a muzzle loader, because its loaded from the muzzle end, one component at a time.

yep cant take a pistol grip they way it is the tangs come out straight rossi should have done this with they're circuit judge

id say ML based on the fact its not loaded with a self contained cartridge. id think the spirit of the law is more in line with the carbine, than it is with some of the 'modern' smoke poles that load from the front.

I suspect that the province of NB would say nay, nien, nicht, nada.

Who in Canada would sell these carbines. I would love to have one.
