I am coming up to MI from TX for Christmas and New Years.

I wanted to give my dad a 16" noveske for Christmas since it is Christmas and New Years is his birthday. He has always asked about me getting one for him for a long time but asking that I find one and he buy it. I have some consecutive serial numbered noveske GenII receivers that I put together and I'm going to finish the one and I want to give it to him as a gift and keep the other and build it for myself.

What would I need to do for a transfer since I'm driving up to MI and bringing it with me.

Transport it in a case. Make sure to wrap it nicely, and put it under the tree.

There are no goofy laws concerning the transfer of long arms in Mich., and a "Gift", is a perfectly legal transfer.
Santa drops long guns under trees like a Mofo in Michigan.

You're an awesome kid BTW!


ETA. Transporting on the way up should be no problem either, just avoid Illinois if you can.

It's still an interstate transfer from non-contiguous states and is required to go through an FFL located in MI.

While Santa may "drop long guns under trees like a Mofo", those are not interstate transfers. Gifting of the rifle is not the issue here. It is the interstate transfer between non-contiguous states.

ETA: I mixed it up, MI has no laws regarding purchasing long guns from only contiguous states. Michigan residents may purchase a long gun through an FFL in any state. This does not change the fact that this transfer needs to go through an FFL in MI.

Some decades (1980's) ago my father was coming out to pheasant hunt in SD.  I was living in SD at the time and drove a mile over the Missouri river to Nebraska and told the FFL (an well known at the time NRA board member) I wanted to buy a gift Italian O/U shotgun for my father who was coming out to SD for a pheasant hunt.  I wonder if I broke the law at the time?  I have the O/U now.

We used to take up collections and buy guns as gifts for people at work all the time as going away presents when they were getting transfers.
