Not sure this is Kosher - FTF handgun sale outside home state
A person living in "State A" (no state restrictions on gun transfers / sales) travel to a pistol match across a state line to "State B" (also no state restrictions on gun transfers / sales). At the conclusion of the match the person living in "State A" receives an offer for and agrees to sell their match pistol to a lawful resident of "State B" on the spot.
Any federal laws broken?

Yep, unless you go to a FFL in his state to do the transfer

^^^ For a modern firearm, yes.
The transaction is only lawful if the pistol is C&R eligible and the recipient is an 03 Collector FFL, or the pistol is a legal antique (pre-1899 or a BP replica that can't fire standard commercially available fixed cartridges).

Assuming that it's not a C&R item, this would violate federal law, which says:

This might be a good time to review federal law on interstate transfers.

Just to pile on, these laws are enforced even against people with no prior criminal record and the current attorney general has made enforcing gun laws on purchases a priority for the DOJ.
