Muzzleloaders Made Before 1898: All black powder muzzleloaders made before 1898 are classified as antique firearms. Antique firearms are exempt from the license and registration requirements set out in the Firearms Act. Muzzleloaders Made After 1898: All matchlock, flintlock and wheel lock long guns are classified as antiques no matter when they were made. Like older firearms of these types, they are exempt from the license and registration requirements set out in the Firearms Act. Muzzle-loading black powder handguns made after 1898 are not classified as antiques even if they are copies of an earlier antique model. They are classified as restricted if their barrel length is over 105 mm (about 4 inches), or prohibited if their barrel length is 105 mm or less. There are no license and registration requirements for antique firearms
