It is 100% illegal to transfer handguns across State lines without an FFL in the middle. That includes giving them to relatives.
There are exceptions for inherited firearms and in some cases exceptions for long guns.

I believe the correct answer is.... It depends. :roll:

So as a general thing, it looks like a .36 caliber cap and ball 6-shooter handgun manufactured in 1865 would still be subject to all of the same transfer/shipping laws as a modern handgun .... while a far more powerful magazine fed Krag Jergensen battle rifle manufactured before 1889 would not be subject to those restrictions. I guess that makes some kind of sense on Planet Bizzaro.

Holder only transfers guns to criminals. I’m assuming the OP is a law-abiding man. :mrgreen:
