Most states don't regulate the private sale of a firearm, however it may not be a bad idea to use a local gun shop (with a FFL) to complete the transaction as they will probably require a background check and will record the sale .The NRA web page has state by state gun laws.

You would also be smart to talk to your local police or sheriff's department, as your local community may have additional regulations around registration and transfer of firearms. Also note that most states distinguish between a transfer to another state resident, and to an out-of-state resident, and have different rules for each.
