    Now that I'm getting into antique firearms, how about adding an Antiques section to The Arsenal? I can't be alone. :)

    Well, yes and no. How often do we see 1700s or 1800s flintlock pistols or musketoons in the C&R forum? The C&R forum has for the most part morphed into a military surplus forum. About the only people posting there are 03 FFL holders. I can probably count on one hand who many genuine antiques I've seen there that are not military surplus.

    Actually the ATF defines antiques as pre-1899 firearms and firearms and replicas that use don't use fixed or rimfire or centerfire ammunition, such as muzzleloading percussion, flintlock or matchlock ignition systems.

    You need no FFL, C&R or otherwise, at all to buy or sell them unless there are state and local ordinances about them.

    For flintlocks and musketoons you have the BP forum.

    Meh. I'd rather go elsewhere on the internetz to discuss genuine antiques than post alongside the latest $169 black powder whatever from Cabela's.
