I very much appreciate everyone's input, thank you for that. When I bought it, I thought it would be a major project like my search for a Savage .22 clip that my father looked for for over 40 years.
I have contacted the appropriate authorities so I know the rightful owner before I do anything.

Geb, just curious, ...I didn't know that you could just sell/buy a Gun at a flea market, unless pre 1899, or whatever the antique date is?...was there any red tape involved?..or was it because it wasn't a "whole" gun..like , just parts? Lovely bloody gun for 25 though ,  franc

Franc, the 1968 Gun Control Act definition of a gun is the action, so the stocked action and barrels Geb bought at the flea market was indeed a gun. The reviled "gun show exception" to the Act is just that intrastate sales between individuals are exempted from the FFL transfer requirement.
Of course it does not just apply to gun shows, but to any transfer among residents of the same State, even a gift from yourself to your grandson. I doubt Arkansas has any additional State Law further limiting the Federal Gun Control Act provisions in this regard....Geo

"Gun Show Loophole": Yet another term to confuse the non-gun owning public. Like rules are different at a gun show than they are anywhere else. They're not. You're a dealer, you have to follow the same rules (background check etc) that apply if you sell from your shop or over the internet. You're a private seller, it's no different than if you sell a gun face to face at your home, in a parking lot, wherever. Assuming, in both cases, all state laws are followed.

Larry's reply is the correct one. There is no "gun show loophole". It is an invention of the left wing anti gun press. If you can sell a gun to a fellow state resident in your driveway or at your gun club, you can also sell him a gun at your show. You should be confident that he is an honest man. That should be all that is required.

I normally go to flea markets to look for things that I grew up with as a child. Yes I know I am a kid at heart still. I was actually looking for a insulated metal milk container for my front porch. The kind that the milkman would put your glass quarts of milk in.
I dont know about other states, but here I see guns on tables all the time and lately bullets. Mostly 9mm, .22 and 223. Nothing I am interested in. Most of the guns I have seen are run of the mill Remington, Winchester, 270's 7mm... but what made this stand out was its engravings. The guy wanted $50 and I told him that it probably unsafe to shoot due to the metal used and that it was missing the piece. I asked him if he would take $25 and he agreed. I was more looking for a project. I still view this as a project. Just waiting on the authorities to ensure it is not stolen.
