An antique or a replica of an antique manufactured before 1899 and does not use a metallic cartridge.
It is in the Texas penal code. It has been a while, but I seem to remember similar wording in the federal statutes.
However, if even you have a conversion cylinder in you possession you risk the "readily convertable" clause. Even for BP cartridges.
It is also, IIRC, against state and federal statute for a felon to possess an explosive, such as BP, so they can only use the substitutes.
All that also depends on my feeble brain for accuracy.
Hence I gave him the same advice I give them all. Talk to a lawyer. Legal or not, they will tell you what they can defend you for doing and what you will go to jail for anyway.
Felons and any kind of firearms are a dicey combination no matter what the laws actually say.
