[QUOTE="BrandonM, post: 2109721, member: 6435"] Copied and pasted the below information. I think the info is correct though. Other than what is in the Q/A below you have to fill out 4473 and a pawn shop selling firearms have to have 4473. The pawn stars guys in Las Vegas don't have an ffl and can only deal in the old antique stuff for that reason. Q: What constitutes "antique" under U.S. law? A: Although your State and local laws may vary, any firearm with a receiver actually made before Jan. 1, 1899 is legally "antique." and not considered a "firearm" under Federal law. This refers to the actual date of manufacture of the receiver/frame, not just model year or patent date marked. (For example, only low serial number Winchester Model 1894 lever actions are actually antique.) No FFL is required to buy or sell antiques across state lines-- they are in the same legal category as a muzzle-loading replica. I regularly ship them right to people's doorstep via UPS, with no "paper trail." Think of it as the last bastion of gun ownership privacy. [/QUOTE]
