No sir, you are wrong. Antique firearms are exempted under Title 18.
HERE is the link.
Cabela's would be happy to sell you as many as you want with no paperwork.

Hmmmm this is interesting .... paragraphs A and D are mutually exclusive ... You are correct, black powder weapons can be sold to felons. It doesn't make any sense; but there is (you win) :
(3)
The term ''firearm'' means
(A)
any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive;
(B)
the frame or receiver of any such weapon;
(C)
any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or
(D)
any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.
