    Vetterli CA legal?

    So does anybody know if the vetterli is California legal? I found one in pretty good shape but here in Cali you really have to be careful about the legal stuff. I don't know exactly what model but it is in the full rifle configuration. Any info helps.
    Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    According to Federal firearms laws, anything made prior to 1898 is not a firearm but an antique. I would suspect that the Vertelli rifles fall into that category by quite a few years. As for California, who knows.
