It's still illegal to manufacture firearms for others without a license.
A Sacramento, California man was sentenced Thursday to over three years in prison for unlawful manufacture of a firearm and one count of dealing firearms.
Last year, Daniel Crownshield, pleaded guilty to those counts in exchange for federal prosecutors dropping other charges. According to investigators, Crowninshield, known online as "Dr. Death," would sell unfinished AR-15 lower receivers, which customers would then pay for him to transform into fully machined lower receivers using a computer numerically controlled (CNC) mill. (In October 2014, Cody Wilson, of Austin, Texas, who has pioneered 3D-printed guns, began selling a CNC mill called "Ghost Gunner," designed to work specifically on the AR-15 lower.)
"In order to create the pretext that the individual in such a scenario was building his or her own firearm, the skilled machinist would often have the individual press a button or put his or her hands on a piece of machinery so that the individual could claim that the individual, rather than the machinist, made the firearm," the government claimed in its April 14 plea agreement.
So, if he taught a class in how to do it would he also then be a criminal?

Open mouth, insert foot, AC. Note that I specifically stated that some local jurisdictions may have passed more restrictive laws than the federal government. But, a muzzle loader is NOT A FIREARM, legally speaking.
You should read the entire page you quote.
Muzzleloaders are considered deadly weapons in all states from a law enforcement perspective.
And do you know who answers questions on sites like "quora"? Yes, people just like you, Runaway1965! Would you take legal advice from someone as knowledgeable as you?

(And BTW, what are you doing hanging out on a site like "jobsforfelons.com"? Answers that cop or criminal question, it does.)
