That FFL will most likely require payment for his service. If that FFL takes it and enters it into his bound book as required, and the intended recipient does not pass the background check, the FFL would have to have YOU fill out the 4473 and do a background check on you for you to get your own gun back.

OK, now who's going to be the first to tell me that I'm full of crap on this one?
Nope, I think that's pretty much right.

The difficulty is going to be finding an AGREEABLE FFL ... most FFLs are extremely wary of doing anything that seems out of the ordinary since they are beholden to an inconsistent and capricious government agency that at least can end their livelihood at worst will burn down their house and stomp their kittens.

The only way to find out is to start calling FFLs in the buyer's local area.

My brother lives in Raymore Missouri (suburb of KCMO) and the FFLs around the Kansas City are are used to this type of transaction (since the KC Metro Area is in two states ... three if you count folk in the Nebraska towns close by. But again, FFLs are hesitant to do anything out of the ordinary (especially if the gun in question is a handgun).
