    The basis for an antique vs classic is based on engineering changes. IE; opposed firing, full shift, etc.

    All of that largely came about in 1949-ish by the majority of manufacturers. Thus the 1950 cut off.

    If this is correct, then the antique cut of date cannot be changed as the engineering aspect dictates it.

    I may have been led astray, but this is what I’ve been told over time.
