I was wondering what the process was for me to sell a rifle to an ffl in his state not mine.
What information will i need from him?
Does he just give me a receipt and everything is ok?
Please let me know what else I might be missing. I have never sold a gun before, let alone across state lines.
Thank you in advance.

If you are not a FFL get a receipt and copy down the first 3 and last 5 of his FFL.

Hand him the gun, he hands you $$$. He'll need your name and address for his bound book.

^^^ This.  It can be tricky, every state is different.  If you are going through an FFL they should know.

One important thing to remember since you are an Illinois resident. You MUST retain who you sold the gun to for 7 years.
