A Really stupid question.

If you read it correctly you would see that it's talking about reproductions that have been designed or redesigned to fire center fire cartidges are not antiques.

If you have a gun and it was made in 1898 it is an antique regardless if it's black powder, smokeless, rim fire, or center fire. I've bought 3 antiques online and in person that were able to use center fire ammunition. A 50-70 30-40

ah, clearly! thanks.
