In fact, there is zero issue even if you didn't keep a record of who you sold it to if not required to do so by some state or local law.
As for them contacting you, it might all depend if they consider you some sort of suspect. You might be contacted by local LEO. I didn't have the phone numbers of the two customers available to give the ATF, I can only assume they used the address to either get a phone number or they visited personally.
For do's and don'ts.. just don't perjure yourself and you'll be good to go. You'll hand them the information of where the pistol went and they will simply move on.
Yep, somebody did something with the gun. They always start from manufacturer and traces through distributors, dealers then purchasers. Give them the Gunbroker info you have and they will trace to the next party and continue down the food chain. Once they confirm with the FFL that he received it they will have no interest in you.
They will probably call you and then ask you to email the information you have to them.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
