I am buying a sporterized 1873 Trapdoor, rifle made into an Alaskan Guide rifle. It is an original 1873 and in every other state than Mass is an antique, however here in Mass it is not an antique since it uses commonly available cartridges. My dealer may or may not take my C&R for it since it was sporterized about 5 years ago (he knows the smith who did it) but I don't mind an FA10 on it.
The question is since Federally I think even though sporterized it is still an antique so I would think it should need to be in my bound book??
