crossing the border

[eod20]

 when taking a muzzel loader to canada can you cross the border with black powder and 209 or musket caps? i have been invited to hunt caribou in northern quebec on snowmobiles and want to take my .58 huntsman if i go

is your 58 cal a flintlock?? if so, it is not registered here. You can buy flintlocks over the counter without registering them. Just declare to the border official. blackpowder and caps are fine too.

He asked about musket caps and 209's, so not a flintlock.
Try dropping rick teal a message, he probably knows.

it's a .58 huntsman with both a musket cap and a 209 primer breech plug    i shoot loose powder and a 585 gr minnie

AFAIK, reloading components in Canada require no licencing - yet. So the easiest route would simply be to buy them when you get here.

As far as hunting in Canada, I imagine it's easiest if you just bring in a bow, antique rifle, or flintlock, or borrow a weapon from a guide or something. But you can bring in any reasonable hunting rifle outside of the AR series - just be prepared for paperwork.
