Shipping antiques
From what I've gathered, guns made prior to 1898 are considered antiques and don't require FFL transfer for interstate shipping. I'm interested in a gunbroker auction that sells a gun as antique, to be shipped directly. My question is, can I as the receiver be held responsible if the seller is mistaken in his antique classification? It's from the time, but I wouldn't stake my legal life on it being prior to 1898 without a lot more research.

I don't know but that is a very good question. As an internet only lawyer
 I would imagine I would make myself 100% clear that what I wanted was pre-1898 and then assume that any mistakes were the sellers fault. But I am not an ATF agent who believes that shoe strings are machine guns either.
