When doing a PPT of a long gun,what info is checked on the seller(background check etc.) if any. Or is the firearm the only thing of interest? The old guy inherited the long gun from his father and doesnt want to "pop up on radar" but wants to sell it. I told him to do it legally as I was pretty sure that as long as the firearm was "clean" he wont be "on radar".

Note: he said his father bought it brand new in the 70s,if that makes any difference. -
Nothing on the seller. In fact you can sell a gun you don't own. Rifles weren't even registered until a few months ago.May the Bridges I burn light the way.

Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).Comment

The majority of the interest is in the SN of the gun (looking for stolen) and the eligibility of the buyer. HOWEVER when a PPT is initiated DOJ apparently does a background check of both the buyer and the seller, just in case the buyer is turned down - Then the gun immediately reverts back to the seller as long as their background check is clear. Ask me how I know...sigpic
