Marstar has new revolvers up for sale

If these are pre 1898 firearms do they need to be registered? Or is that only with the rifles?

This only applies to original arms. Reproductions must all be registered and treated as modern guns, UNLESS they are repro Flintlock Rifles. Reproduction percussion rifles and handguns and flintlock handguns are treated as though they were modern centerfire equivalents.
 
A quick clarification:

In order to be antique, the firearm must meet these qualifications (among others):

- Manufactured before 1898 (not just 'designed before ...')

- If it's a centrefire metallic cartridge using firearm, it must use ammunition that is not readily available (.44-40 / .45 Colt is readily available)

Newly made flintlock long arms such as some of the Kentucky rifles we're bringing in are exempt from licensing requirements (but must be transported, stored, and displayed like non-restricted firearms). Percussion arms, regardless of length, must be registered.

Hope this helps,
