An antique firearm is defined in 18 U. S. C. § 921(a)(16). The term antique firearm means any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898.

∙ 12y agoThat depends on which law(s) you're looking at. Under federal gun laws about the buying and selling of firearms from federally-licensed gun dealers and transferring guns across state lines, no, an antique made before 1898 or a blackpowder, non-cartridge using replica of such an antique is not a "firearm." But under other laws, especially state and local laws about carrying concealed weapons and bringing firearms in off-limits locations, even antique or blackpowder guns are still firearms.
