Bill of sale for firearm

[jjoker16]

A few weeks ago I saw a thread that had a detailed bill of sale. It was recomended for the sale of a firearm to a "john doe".

SO...first question: is this document an exceptable way to go, or should I sell it through someone with an FFL?


2nd question: who posted that doc. and where can i find it?

Thanks to all, J

Here is one that I made up from several forms, feel free to use it.
Damn, it's too large to upload in pdf format. I'll email it to you.

There is only so much due diligence a seller can personally do. I think if you verify the individuals identification, allow them to inspect the firearm and then draft a document (as well as copy the ID) that is the most that could be expected by a reasonable person. Should anything happen involving your old firearm with/without the new owner, I am of the opinion that it would be hard to say that that involvement could have been mitigated had you done anything different.
