The Fed regs state the fire arm must have been manufactured prior to 01/01/1899 to be considered an 'antique'. There are state laws in some locations that do not recognize the Federal 'Antique Status' of a firearm and in those cases the fire must transfer on an 01FFL or 03C&R (in some cases only on an 01 FFL..NJ for instance)
