From Google:
Adding a collapsible stock to a CVA V2 muzzleloader pistol in Tennessee is generally considered legal, as it does not typically violate federal or Tennessee NFA (National Firearms Act) rules. Muzzleloaders are generally not classified as "firearms" under federal or Tennessee state law (specifically, they are not considered modern "handguns" or "rifles") because they are antique/muzzleloading designs

Here is a breakdown of the legal, technical, and hunting considerations:

Here is a breakdown of the legal, technical, and hunting considerations:
- Legal Standing (TN & Federal): Under Tennessee Code Annotated § 39-11-106, muzzleloading firearms are defined as those incapable of being loaded from the breech. Because they are not "firearms" under these definitions, attaching a stock does not create a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) requiring an NFA tax stamp.
- Constructive Possession: While the pistol itself is not regulated as a modern firearm, it is always best practice to avoid possessing a stock that could readily convert a modern centerfire pistol into an SBR, though this usually does not apply to black powder muzzleloader pistols.
