I can understand why someone doesn't want a seller asking for a BOS, but wouldn't it be wise for a buyer to have a BOS for his records, NOT for the sellers. It may or may not stand up in court, but it is a paper trail in case the firearm you bought ends up being stolen or was used in a crime. It seem like the seller shouldn't mind, since they don't have the firearm anymore.
Is it ok for a Buyer to ask for a Bill of Sale (BOS)?

just spend a few dollars and do the FFL transfer
this and the bos is not really a perfect legal document in court since anyone can draw one up, the ffl is legal proof transfer

OMG does this **** ever stop 
I wouldn't worry too many about it. If you buy it off of here or other sites like this, there's a record that can't be erased. You can bet everything that has to do with guns is being watched. As far as worrying about buying something stolen, meet the seller at the local PD or SO and have a LEO to check it before you pay for it.
NO...please close the thread
Come on... everybody has the right to ask questions. Don't highjack the thread with a bunch of dead horse garbage. Some of us like to hear the responces.
It's fine to ask for one. It's also ok to be turned down.

New here! Does what ever stop? I don't feel it's anyone business what firearms I own, so FFL is really not what I want. To me FFL is still another form of registration. But I feel a buyer needs something to have in case his firearm is stolen and he can some kinda proof of ownership if needed.
i just keep digital photos and a log of models, serial numbers, and such of what i own in case of a loss.........
