Actually, if there are modern reproductions of that particular flintlock, the modern reproduction could be considered a restricted firearm rather than an "actual" antique. From there it's a fairly simple argument to make that the airsoft pistol in question is based on the modern restricted firearm rather than an actual antique firearm.
It's not an AEG. Cocking back the hammer winds a spring.
