Thank you. So as a seller, is getting a bill of sale that they sign (stating they can legally own a firearm) and getting a copy of their NC license all I legally need to do? Seems like all I really could do since not everybody buys handguns and has a CCW or purchase permit.

Like most states, there is no state law regarding long guns. You default to federal law.
Generally speaking, you must not have reason to believe they are not a resident of your state. You must not have reason to believe they are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms, and you must not have reason to believe they are under the age of eighteen.
Aside from that, federal law places the burden of following the law on the buyer.

I already told you the legal requirements.
"You must not have reason to believe..."
Were it not for the NC handgun permit system, the same would be true for handguns. Just like in most states.
Even when it comes to handguns in NC, there is no requirements for keeping records. State law says the receiver must possess a purchase permit, which is also satisfied by a NC issued CHP, and a couple of classes of certain people don't need that.
No one can ever come after you for failing to keep a record because there is no requirement to do so. If you are scared, take it to a dealer and ask them to consign it for you.
