Jim, If your question is ever ruled on in favor of removing the antique label on a gun for which ammunition is readily available all of our old doubles will be in question. Ammunition for the short chambered antiques with the possible exception of sub- 10 gauges and 14 gauges is now readily availble from companies such as RST, Polywad, New Era and others. On the other hand that does not remove them from the Curios and Relics catagory. Anyone who is legally able to obtain firearms can get a C&R license for $35 for 3 years.
I have no problem with anyone who wants a copy of my C&R for a pre-1899 gun in order to satisfy themselves that I am indeed eligible to buy firearms. However, I refuse to pay a fee for the opportunity.
