    No federal paperwork; however, there might be some state or local laws that apply.

    If it is a T/C Encore or a Savage you have to fill out a 4473 in a store or have it shipped to An FFL if you purchase online. They are classified as firearms by the BATF

    My understanding is if it takes a 209 primer it is like buying a centerfire

    I'm in agreement with XP100. When I bought my Encore BP rifle on a auction site, the dealer had to have a FFL since it is convertable to a modern ceterfire rifle/shotgun with the swap of a barrel. I don't think ignition systems have anything to do with the matter.State laws may apply however. Just my .02...

    I think the best advice would be to call your local ATF office and ask someone there, heck, thats what you pay them for...

    ALL BLACK PODER FIREARMS CAN BE BOUGHT AND SHIPPED WITH OUT ANY FFL PAPER WORK UNLESS IT CAN BE CONVERTED TO FIRE MODERN AMMO.THE IGNITION SYTEM DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL.AND ALL FIREARMS THAT WERE MADE BEFORE I BELIEVE ITS 1899 THAT WILL FIRE MODERN AMMO CAN BE PURCHASED WITH OUT ANY FFL PAPER WORK AND BOTH TYPES OF FIREARMS CAN BE SHIPPED TO YOUR DOOR NOT A FFL'S DOOR.
