You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Private firearms transactions are perfectly legal in Virginia with NO PAPERWORK REQUIRED. What are you going to tell the police? I sold XYZ gun to someone, but don't remember who? I mean, sure, go ahead and call them if you would like someone from a LEO agency to tell you that you have nothing to worry about. You didn't do anything wrong or illegal, so it doesn't matter if you call them or not.

In fact, if I am not mistaken, firearms registration in VA is actually illegal - so that means that the police department CANNOT legally record the serial number of the firearm unless it is being reported as stolen.
