This video explains the 'pre-1899 secret' for legally owning firearms off the books. According to the ATF, firearms manufactured before January 1, 1899, are considered antique and not subject to standard firearm regulations, meaning no FFL transfer, background check, or paperwork is required. The video uses a Swedish Mauser, made in 1898, as an example.
