I think a 70 year old rifle may not be an antique rifle according the legal description (pre 1898), but in practical terms, especially as it relates to a car, furniture, etc it is. Since the first Mosins were made in 1891 and pre 98 mosins can be found, some ARE antiques by ATF definition. I DO have a personal problem with rare milsurps getting hacked up though.
I'm doing mine just to turn an old junker into something I'll enjoy shooting more and for practice doing amateur gunsmithing.
