Handgun/Rifle transfer

[Pro2A]

I had a question regarding a handgun/rifle transfer. I had a Taurus PT111 Pro in the classifieds for sale/trade. I reached a deal with another member here and he is going to trade me a 10/22 for my handgun. I understand we have to go to an FFL to transfer the handgun to him, but what about transferring the rifle to me? I'm guessing he can just give it to me and that is that, then we transfer the handgun to him? Am I correct in assuming that?

Thanks for the help.

I do believe (and very much hope) that he can just give you the gun and that's the end of the story. I say this because that's how I got my K98, but IANAL.

That is correct, there is no paperwork involved in the transfer of a long arm between private parties ib PA. There is no law that says that any money has to exchange hands for the transfer of something.

The handgun of course, as you stated, needs to be transferred through a FFL.
