Actually, if the "private seller" (as they refer to him) does not meet the threshold to be considered a dealer, then he doesn't need to be licensed, which means the minimum purchase age doesn't apply.  For long guns, that only applies to licensed dealers.  Separately, Federal law establishes a minimum age for possession of handguns, but not long guns.
