Private sales are legal in NV BUT.........

LEGALLY in NEVADA you have to transfer a gun through either the PD or FFL to do a background check on the Buyer...
Actually, as I understand it the law requiring background checks on private-party sale in NV is currently in a state of limbo. It was a poorly written initiative, and made the assumption that the FBI would be on board with providing the NICS checks on private sales. Once passed, the FBI said, "What? Uh...no." The NV AG even came out and said it was unenforceable.

How so?

The only way one would potentially be in any hot water from the private-party sale of a firearm (in states where still legal) would be by KNOWINGLY selling to a prohibited possessor, which would require some sort of inculpatory evidence to have any teeth for prosecution. There is also no federal statute preventing/limiting private party sales.

If you are worried, just request to see the buyer's resident ID/DL, and simply ask them: "You're not prohibited from possessing this firearm in any way, correct? Done.
