Looking at the Federal definition seems indicate 2 categories - those firearms manufactured pre-1898, and replicas of those firearms which do not use readily available centerfire or rimfire ammunition. Certainly states may have more restrictive rules, but generally how are older cartridge rifles treated?
For example if one wanted to purchase a 1891 Mosin, 1895 Mauser, or older lever or falling block 45-70 with receiver dated pre-98 ? Would they be mail order like black powder guns are in some states, or subject to 4473?
