No. A firearm is any device designed to propel a projectile through a barrel by means of an explosion (such as powder). It doesn'tatter that it's not a centerfire or rimfire standard cartridge. It's still a firearm and unless your gun rights are restored, it's illegal to possess as a convicted felon.

Absolutely not. A black powder gun is still a firearm.

Under USC Title 18, Black Powder firearms are considered firearms for purpose of the criminal section and they ARE PROHIBITED to felons! CA law also prohibits possession by felons.
