I remember the good old days of OSA Classifieds

And that's the reason I now require a bill of sale unless I know you well.

Great advice. If/when I relist the Rem 700VS (in 22-250) I have in the Classifeds I will follow your advice and ask for a bill of sale. Thanks!

I would decline a FTF deal if a bill of sale was required. Checking the feedback of the two parties involved should be enough.

One incident... as bad as that situation was, it doesn't sound like using OSA is near as bad as using something like Craigslist.

Out of curiosity here, if someone on an FTF asks to take a photo of your license, are you going to say "sure" ? Why/Why not?

I learned the hard way that it isn't enough. My a$$ was in a ringer for a while, and that won't happen again if I can help it. There's plenty of buyers and sellers and guns to go around.

What is there on that form that ties a specific gun to the original buyer?

Which form?

I would not because it is not required by law and it could lead to stolen identity or robbery like the incident you posted about.

Name of buyer and serial number of firearm.

Ok, I've only done that 2 times and its been awhile. I knew my name was on it but I didnt realize specific gun info was on it.

Which form?

The one that gets called into the FBI on new gun purchase via FFL.
