That’s how I would go about it, also engage with them early in case it’s a bit left field for them. Don’t leave it to check in.
Maybe pay some thought on how you might demonstrate the muzzle loader is unloaded when you check in. Also see if they require it to be disabled in some manner. ie in your case not as simple as removing the bolt or breaking an action.
Airlines are extremely risk adverse to fire, so if it’s flintlock that may present the need for a simple work around too.
