Tennessee State Law allows the ownership of a muzzleloader. However, it is not legal for a felon to own a primer as it is considered reloading equipment. Hence the only muzzleloaders legal to be owned by a felon would be percussion cap, flintlock, etc.
Added: IF (repeat) IF Tennessee law allows this, their right to possess it exists only while they are within that state. Ther posession of it outside of Tennessee is unlawful (under FEDERAL law) unless the weapon is an antique and was manufactured prior to 1868, or an exact replica of such a weapon.
The model 200 was introduced in 1928 and was a .175 caliber BB muzzle loader.
It is used to reduce the recoil of the rifle and as a grip for cocking the barrel.
Yes. An air rifle is not considered a firearm, thus a felons possession is not limited.
You need to consult a lawyer
I, too, am a convicted felon. Although I find it difficult to find any solid facts on the laws regarding muzzle loaders, I do believe a convicted felon can hunt with a muzzle loader in the state of Indiana. I asked the same question while recently incarcerated in the Knox County, Indiana jail, and all thirty-one inmates in my block agreed that it is lawful to do so. ALL other types of firearms, however, are off limits. Another great alternative is high-powered air rifles. They're not just kid's toys anymore!
Yes, an air rifle is not considered a firearm by Texas or federal laws.

This is going to depend mainly on the crime that the person was convicted of, as well as state laws. This does not sound like an activity a felon should take up however, since the chances of an additional incident may occur.
He can, but doing so is a violation of federal felony firearms regulations. It is not legal anywhere in the US for a felon to be in possession (and that can include close proximity to) of a firearm. Federal regulation denotes a firearm as any device that expels a projectile by means of explosive force. An air rifle fits that definition.
Yes, provided that are not on probation or parole, and that it does not violate the terms set by their parole officer. Air rifles are not considered firearms in VA.
In the UK - Air pistols with a muzzle energy of not more than 6 ft·lbf (8.1 J) and air rifles of energy up to 12 ft·lbf (16.2 J) do not require a licence and may be owned by anyone over the age of 18
Generally, no. The size is the same, but the mass of the projectile is not. And a .22 rifle bullet is propelled by gunpowder, with a much higher muzzle velocity than an air-powered pellet.
