As I said, antique long guns are actually NOT strictly acknowledged. As such, they fall under normal long gun transfer rules. Theres no issue with OWNING them...where is gets dicey is people thinking they are free to ship and receive them without FFL transfer.

As for the SAFE Act website, be VERY careful assuming the quick shot responses they make there are correct. The number of items that have "evolved" since the law was hastily passed is incredible. You need to rest of what the legal code actually says...NOT some bureaucrat interpretation of what it means. That wont hold up in court.

My point here is...the whole issue is actually a grey area. It could well depend upon a given judge as to which way he interprets.
