Are there any wacky CA gun laws governing pre-1899 rifles?  I like the idea of not having to go through an FFL, but I wasn't sure if this "loophole" had been closed, to prevent "terrorists" from buying guns through the mail...

bad link above.

on the DOJ site, exemptions to the gun lock law -- No.2 "The commerce of any firearm defined as an "antique firearm" pursuant to federal law."

but what is an antique? a 50yo C&R or a 100yo non-gun?

Antique firearms do not have to be transferred through a dealer in California,  Neither do C&R rifles and shotguns that are more than 50 years olds.  Antiques are those manufactured prior to 1898.  California definitions for antique and C&R firearms are the same as the federal ones.
