  It's fine. No ffl transfer is required as long as it's a true antique as defined by the ATF.

  I will add this to the above...If it is a Winchester, DO NOT use the writings of George Madis to date it, as you could end up in serious error/trouble.
  
  That said, if it is a Winchester, post the Model number, and Serial number here, and you will get the true date of Manufacture.
