Please bear with me as I am no computer expert...
If you go to atf.gov and type in antique rifles in the search bar...
Then go to Gun Control Act defines Antique Firearms...
You will see:
The ATF states that ammo must no longer be made in the US or obtainable through ordinary means of trade.
Again I am not a lawyer nor play one on TV...

That section is only for replicas of antique guns, all guns made 1898 or earlier are considered antique regardless of caliber. If someone made an 1860 Henry in original 44 rim fire it would be considered antique, even though it is newly made, but a repro 1873 springfield is not, since 45-70 is common, but original springfields made before 1899 ( I think they all are) are antiques.
And yes recent changes to state law may have affected this, I am not sure.
