so i got this npap from atlantic firearms today.  i call the customer and i said "your gun is here".  he says its not for me, its for my brother and my brother is going to fill out the 4473.  i say "cant do that...its a straw purchase and its illegal, and it aint gonna happen here".  i ask why he cant complete the 4473 and he says my FOID (gun card) is expired.  i tell him he has 2 options; 1. he can have me send the weapon back to atlantic and you have to pay me for the shipping and for my time...about 65 bucks. 2. i can offer you $450 for the weapon and buy you out of it.

he said the 450 is good.

is that legal for me to do that?  i currently hold an 01 FFL.  i called my IOI and she didnt know.
