That’s not a musket, that’s a pepperbox. A musket is a long gun.Not only that, but a musket is a smooth-bore gun like a shotgun. Only long gun rifles have rifling.

I'd be checking his parole status. Black powder guns are often carried by ex-felons due to a quirk in firearms laws.
From the ATF Website:
Because black powder firearms are considered antique firearms, the possession of a black powder firearm by a person subject to federal firearms disabilities is not prohibited by the GCA. However, a person subject to federal firearms disabilities may not receive and/or possess black powder firearms that can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof which are classified as "firearms."

Yep, and I don’t think Antiques are illegal to carry in Ca either...

Actually, a rifle with a bore of 40 inches or more is referred to as a “rifled musket”. An examples would be the Springfield 2861 rifled musket,

The little plastic bag seems to contain lead balls, and a black power measuring scoop. Add black power and small pistol percussion caps, which he may have also had, and you could shoot that thing.

Users put anything into a blunderbuss. With wadding that surrounds the ball, steel could certainly be shot from a black powder weapon.

I bought one of those years ago when we dabbled in buckskinning. It’s imported by CVA. It’s .36 caliber and has 4 barrels. I fired it once or twice. Very difficult to use. One of those .36 Colt Navy replicas is a much better choice if you want to mess with black powder. It’s a lot of fun actually.
