Usefull information to antique guns mgf before 1899: ://empirearms/pre-1899.htm
„Pre-1899 production guns bring a 20 to 60% premium over identical condition guns made AFTER 1898. For the time being at least, pre-1899 are completely EXEMPT from all federal laws. Presumably, this would also mean that they would be exempt from registration if they ever have nationwide gun registration!
What are the primary advantages in investing in pre-1899 guns rather than modern (post-1898) guns, or replicas?
„They are not considered "firearms" under Federal law.“ Thus they will most likely be exempt from any new Federal gun registration law. (Sadly, registration looks inevitable within a few years unless there is a massive swing of the pendulum back toward a constitutional republic.) I can literally send you a pre-1899 handgun or rifle right to your doorstep without a lick of paperwork. (Unless your live in for example New Jersey, New York City or D.C.) It is a great loophole.
