Is it still legal to sell a rifle face to face in Pa? Specifically in Philadelphia?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this (mods please move to appropriate place if necessary), but I'd like to know if it's legal to sell a lever action rifle face to face in Philly Pa? If so, what would I require from the purchaser, a copy of their DL, LTCF, etc.?
Thanks!

Yes it's legal. It's not required to do bill of sale. Make sure the purchaser is a PA resident.

It's up to you. You are not legally obliged to.

So long as you have no reason to believe the buyer is prohibited, you do not need to require anything.
If I didn't know the buyer and being that you are so near the border with other states, I would at a minimum want to see a PA driver's license as proof of PA residency. (sales that cross state lines require a FFL transfer)
I personally make it a point to only buy long guns FTF unless I can't find what I want from a private seller.
While I don't have to, I typically offer to show my driver's license to the seller in person and if they are not local, I generally offer to send a copy of my DL and/or LTCF to them for their records. I do this on my own accord - it is not a requirement - it just eases the mind of the seller that he has at least gotten some info about me.
Here's a Bill of Sale that I have used many times. It has all the same questions that are posed on the federal forms that an FFL would use.
Print two, fill out your info on both and have the buyer do the same - each of you keeps a copy. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Again - Bill of Sale not required. Complete as much or as little of the info as you want. Mainly you want the signature and proof of PA residency.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

My response about shipping within PA was due to a quote from Emptymag, "I personally make it a point to only buy long guns FTF unless I can't find what I want from a private seller.
While I don't have to, I typically offer to show my driver's license to the seller in person and if they are not local, I generally offer to send a copy of my DL and/or LTCF to them for their records.

Ooops, having read that quote more carefully, I see he may not have meant sending a copy of his DL or LTCF along with the rifle, but to send it to them if they wanted it after the FTF sale. Am I correct?

Are you sitting down?
You can mail long guns via USPS (US Postal Service) so long as you follow their terms. (some of postal employees don't know this though)
Rifles/shotguns... "long guns" only - NO handguns through USPS.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!
