Can I legally send a sxs shotgun dated 1891 to someone else,in another state,without going thru an FFL dealer? [neither parties are dealers]

Actually before January 1st 1899 is a antique.

Ken's right....

"in or before 1898" would seem to indicate that the word "in" in this case, would be any of the 365 days in 1898 but not January 1, 1899 or any date after the last day of 1898.

Seems to me, your question was not answered directly.
The answer is YES. :)

I would use extream caution....... will it shoot RST or some other "convential shell"? Part A lists only guns that don't use shells and Part B could be a problem even though it specifies replicas.

Follow the link above and note that it states:

Technically photo ID should be obtained as the buyer has to be over 18 and it should be verified. But private parties are not required to keep records, so unless you have reason to believe that the buyer is not over 18, then ship away.

Part A, says "Any firearm" AND guns that do not use shells.

Point taken....:cool:
