Selling a AR15 rifle build
I’m looking into selling my AR15 rifle build from a stripped Anderson multi caliber lower. The gun is rifle right now with a 16” upper. I know I can sell rifles in PA face to face to a PA resident, but is it legal to sell this gun on the federal and state level with no background check? I would just use a FFL but they are all shut down and I’m not looking to have the ATF knocking on my door one day years from now. Any help is appreciated, especially if you are a FFL, thanks in advance

Re: Selling a AR15 rifle build
That is why a lot of sellers require a valid ltcf. It proves to them that you are eligible. A detailed bill of sale (which can be found in the classified section) also helps cover your butt.
So long as they don't put a pistol upper on it and both the seller and buyer are legal residents of pa, it is legal.

Re: Selling a AR15 rifle build
Here's a question to go along with that. My friend was supposed to inherit a few guns but it got botched and now he's kind of freaking because he has no means of self defense. My question is can I sell him a shot gun? He has his LTCF so he is legit. What is the protocol? Simply sell it and exchange cash of is there official paperwork?

Re: Selling a AR15 rifle build
There is no paperwork you have to do. You could write up a bill of sale.
Example:
1 Remington shotgun, as is. 200 dollars.
If you want something fancier for a bill of sale there is this helpful link in the classified section.

Re: Selling a AR15 rifle build
There is no federal requirement to privately transfer a firearm (handgun or long gun) intrastate besides having no reason to believe the purchaser is prohibited or a resident of another state. There is no Pennsylvania requirement to privately transfer a long gun besides having no reason to believe the purchaser is prohibited or a resident of another state. In an ideal world, if you follow that - everything afterwards is the buyer getting in trouble, not you. If the ATF or PSP come and knock on your door in two years all you have to say is "I sold it legally, beyond that I'm not answering any questions".
Additional things like checking a LTCF or write a bill of sale are not requirements, but to satisfy your level of comfort.
