I was down at RW Pawn in Hazel Dell picking up a pistol I had purchased from seller in Oregon. They asked me for a copy of the receipt. I told them it was a private transfer and I didn't have one. I was then told that they were audited by the ATF and they're now required to have a copy of a receipt for all private gun sales transferred from another FFL holder. It's not just a requirement to show a receipt, they have to retain a copy for the records. The ATF now wants to track sellers not just the buyers of firearms when the move between FFL holders.
I've purchased several pistols from sellers in Oregon and had them transferred to Washington without problem until now. So if you're selling or buying a private firearm but need to transfer it from one FFL to another FFL (shipping to another city or state), you will need to create a "receipt" for the purchase. This doesn't apply if both parties got to the FFL and do the transfer.
