Hells bells you do not sound picky. When you are picking a range, especially those high tone ranges. You make sure you look them over and pick the one that works BEST for you. And you are right the prices at VCGC is rather expensive. When was the last time you were out at ARES?? They have...
Up abouts where you live is the Volusia Country Gun Club. They have a 900 yard range, I have never been at it but talking to a guy he liked it. I know they have a bit of higher range fees then alot of ranges. But on certain days of the week the place is open to the public so you can buy like...
If anyone is interested you can go out and see the original Trinity atom bomb test sight. It is open for a tour 2 times a year.

That may prove an interesting question. There is alot of arguments about if "H Mahillon" made anything or was just a retail company like sears. (This is gunmaking from Belgium at its hay day). Breaking open the action and looking at the stamps may prove helpful.

Black Powder guns and guns made before 1899 can be sold to anyone across state lines with out any type of ffl transfer. Some states have different state rules.

Those Navy arms Enfield 45/70 conversations are a cool rifle. They look very intimidating. My only problem with them is some of the magazines had issues feeding 2 & 3 rounds. But a wonderful shooting rifle.
Well I am inclined to think is there is one whole heap of research that needs to be done to know what it is.
Including what caliber it is???
Again it would not be rocket science to make one of these at home.
