I'll have to look it up to get the exact source and wording, but from what I remember, the law states (I paraphrase) "You may keep any replicas accquired before Dec 1, 1998" or something to that effect.
To me, that means that any replicas you owned prior to that date, you can legally posess. So to me, that implies that anything you accquired AFTER the said date is illegal to posess, since the act of accquiring the said gun after the said date is illegal.
I could be wrong, but that's how I interpret it.
