...(back then there were no age restrictions ...

When was that?

I remember trying to buy primers for my dad in 7th or 8th grade, mid-60s and couldn't; too young.

That was back in the early 70s in Michigan. I never had to produce an ID of any kind to buy powder, primers or bullets.

I also bought several black powder pistol kits because I could and thus I owned handguns. Granted, they were muzzle loaders but I still had them. They were really fun to make too.

Also purchased several muzzle loading long guns. No ID required, at least where I lived.
