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
