Follow-up question: if I buy pre-1898 guns and bring them home myself on a flight from England this summer, how would that affect my bottom line price? Still pay import fees and tariffs?

The govt website says the following:
If the firearm you intend to import is an antique firearm and was manufactured in or before 1898, you or an FFL do not have to submit an ATF Form 6 to ATF... if the antique firearm is at least 100 years old or more and you can provide proof of age, the firearm will be eligible for duty-free treatment under the antique provision in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

Makes it sound like I could stop by Holts, pickup and pack the guns in my luggage with no extra costs. True?
