This is pretty much the content of my bill of sales. Along with a paragraph that states: "The buyer attests under penalty of law that they are not prohibited from possessing the listed firearm under all Federal, State and local laws at the time this bill of sale is signed.". And a similar paragraph for the seller.

I have these documents for my protection. If something were to ever happen criminally with a gun I sold, it will be traced back to me. This documents help cover my hindquarters but is not a guarantee against prosecution. There is always a risk in a private sale coming back to bite you in the ass which is why I've only ever done them with friends who I know are not prohibited (I shoot with them, they own their own guns and a couple are law enforcement).
