If you find a one in a million firearms store who buys their own stock and resells out back illegally, it still is.

1984? In some states, yeah, It would have been that easy.

They’ll pry my right to sell a late medieval firearm to children from my cold dead hands.

Antique guns are pre 1898. Those guns are far more dangerous as a club than a gun.

You know the revolvers cowboys are famous for using are all pre-1898 and more than good guns, yeah? Assuming they’ve been maintained properly, that is
Even the black powder stuff is still going to be really damn good for most peoples uses (accuracy at short to medium range is just fine), I wouldn’t assume just because it’s older or powder that it’s not a good gun

I have a Steyr m95. Originally built in 1985. Has an internal magazine, bolt action, and shoots a surprisingly big bullet. It’s pretty dangerous. Sadly the ammo is so expensive I’ve only shot 20 rounds through it.

Damn not very 1984 of them

In 1984, a full auto would still have been on an NFA registry. Open, rather than closed like today, but still not a simple one step sale.
