Shipping Flintlock Pistol to CA

[PRM]

Can a flintlock muzzle loading pistol be shipped directly to an individual in California from another state, or does it need to go through an FFL.

By legal definition it is NOT a firearm.

You may ship it to anyone you like.

You may ship it to anyone you like.

Unless there is a State or Local law that says otherwise.
This question needs to be answered by someone cognizant of CA firearms law.

It is legal to sell & ship directly to an individual in CA, a muzzle loading blackpowder firearm.
No FFL is required by Federal and CA laws.
