I'm not sure of the relevance of the federal statutes unless your state uses them in its own definitions of what is permissible/impermissible as far as lawful carry.

And my own concern would be that the average LEO you encounter isn't necessarily versed in the definitions of antique vs. non-antique firearms, and not terribly interested in being educated, either. If he thinks you're carrying illegally, you're getting a ride in the back seat of a police car, and a very long night.
