iv done a little research and is says in the gun laws that any pre 1899 or black powder guns are not effected by current gun laws but dose that mean that there is no age that you have to be to own them
i'm 15 and live in the state of tx

There are no federal restrictions on Pre-1899s. There may be state restrictions in Texas against a minor carrying. Also, Black powder was the norm untill the early 1900's so even though the pre 99 maybe be chambered in a caliber still used today, it might not be able to handle modern loads. Also, most places will ask for proof of age before selling it, even though they are not legally required to do so.

what about online and here are the guns that i plan on getting

STOP. You're both wrong.

Antique guns are C&R eligible.

Blackpowder firearms are not regulated under NFA regulations, nor are blackpowder firearms federally restricted to a specific age for sale (nor do you have to go through a dealer). State regs only. You definitely can not carry a blackpowder firearm if you are not allowed to carry (note I said carry, not transport) a normal one. Ownership is different.

While we're on the subject, I too would be interested in someday soon aquiring some blackpowder firearms for kicks and giggles and possibly hunting(if I ever get into hunting, I need to get on that). Anyone know what brands/models are good?

Guns made before 1898 are exempt, no?

They are, but so are all BP firearms as they do not fire fixed cartridges, which is the federal stipulation for most regulations on firearms.

January 1st 1899 is the cutoff date, and some cartridge guns were around before than. I've got a Nagant M1895 manufactured in 1898 that is safe to shoot.
