Buying a .243...some issues

My uncle is going to sell me his Winchester .243 rifle. It's a pretty old gun but it's still a great tack driver.

Should I get a bill of sale? After all, he is my uncle. I know since it's not going through a gun store, the gov't will not need to be involved in it, but i'm curious about the bill of sale thing. The first gun I ever bought was from a friend and all we did was exchange money and gun. I later sold that gun to a friend of a friend and again, we didn't do a bill of sale thing.

I am trying to be a little more responsible these days, so any input would be appreciated.

DM,

Unless I had some suspion that my uncle had committed a crime with it, and wanted a paper trail to show that it wasn't my weapon before a particular date (which, given my family, would be a consideration), I wouldn't worry about it.

I always use MS Word to make a bill of sale for person-to-person. Lawyer-style.

In most cases I get the person to do their full name, address, and last four of their SSN.

It covers their ass, my ass, and whoever else's ass is involved with said firearm.

Or you can get that receipt paper and write up a bill of sale that way. I think it's always a good idea to have a paper trail involving fire arm transfers to protect against unforeseen circumstances.
