Does it have to be in the sellers or buyers state or will either do?.

'Contiguous' has been meaningless since the FOPA in '86

For handguns, the FFL has to be in the BUYER's home state for the buyer to take possession.
For long arms, as long as the FFL does the transfer, location is meaningless.

AFAIK that's correct as long as the transfer does not violate state law in either state. There are a number of states that specifically prohibit or otherwise restrict the transfer of a long gun to a non-resident of that state.

So to be clear -
If I live in NJ and sell a rifle to someone in NY, I can bring my rifle to his FFL in NY and do the transfer there?  I don't see it being an issue to cross state lines for this transaction, but then again I'm not very well versed in this stuff.  

ETA:  After reading njJoniguy's post again, I think that's exactly what he's saying - it would be a clean transaction the way I described it.  If I am wrong please correct me.

Thanks.

Yes, as long as the rifle/shotgun is not classified as an assault weapon in NY. All semi-auto rifles that are legal to possess in NJ should also be legal to possess in NY.  You also can't bring any +10 mags if they were not manufactured prior to 09-14-1994.
