Maybe that is the issue I have with the federal side: it's almost all regulation rather than law! I do need to write to ATF and get their take on it. If I remember by the time I get a response back, I'll post on here what I learn from them.

That Howdah is basically what I would like to make, but I'd rather avoid black powder if I can. I'd much rather make the thing out of a $300 antique from one of the auction sites.
