I've got an Argentine Mauser, model 1891 built in 1892. I know firearms made before 1898 are considered antiques and do not require an FFL to transfer. However I have one nagging question about this.
This rifle has been sporterized. The barrel was shortened and the stock was cut back. It's a nice looking rifle, not a 'bubba' job.
Anyhow, do the modifications to the rifle disqualify it's antique status like such mods would do to a C&R rifle?
