Remember it isnt the design but when *that* particular one was made.
A Winchester 94 made in 1898 is an antique no FFL or fed paperwork needed
A Winchester 94 made in 1960 - assuming it is in "original configuration" - is C&R and can be bought directly by a C&R holder or transferred via normal FFL process
A Winchester 94 made in 1987 is just a gun and must go thru regular FFL process

Thanks for the explanation, id10t. I was not aware of the legal distinction between a "curio and relic" and an "antique". The arms that my buddies and I are interested in are definitely old enough to qualify as "antique".
So, at 50 years old, it can already qualify as a "curio and relic"? Wow - first gen M16's are that old, as are M60's and other such modern, still issued military weapons. Interesting...
