Shipping of 45-70 Receiver

Okay this may sound stupid, but I have to ask.
Cleaning one of the rooms out I found a container with quite a few
45-70 Springfield receivers. Also quite a few trapdoors.
I plan on putting some of them up on the auction side. Will the
receivers need to be shipped to an FFL holder or are they considered
antiques and can be shipped to anyone? As always I want things kept
above board. So I come and ask you guys.

Thanks,
Mike

  Long as the serial number is visible, like this one in the photo off the net. It proves that it was made prior to 1898. It would be a antique. On the other hand, if it's not serial numbered for some reason?

  The last Springfield Trapdoor was made in 1892 so no problem shipping directly to the buyer.

  Thanks for the information.
  All of them have a serial number on them.
  The Trapdoor, aka bolt block will be sold separately.
  Actually have more of them then receivers.
