The muzzle loader is a non gun per the GCA '68. You can do whatever with that. It's about the same as purchasing a toaster as far as the Feds are concerned unless your state regulates muzzle loaders.
Filling out a 4473 doesn't per se put a gun in your name. It isn't a registration, it is a record of sale. That record then sits around and nothing happens unless a gun is used in a crime *and* ATF does a trace on it (a very small number of crime guns).
Even then, you can have done what you wanted with guns that were yours - give them or sell them to someone legally able to have them, drop them into the river, make them into lamps, etc.
What I'm sure the OP *meant* to say was that all the guns were purchased as bonafide gifts using the OP's own money, yada yada. In which case, unless barred by state law, people other than Parent/Guardians can gift guns. Grandparents after all are notorious for such....
