Unless he is a resident of your state you cannot legally transfer a firearm to him. You could have it transferred through a FFL if VA permits out of state transfers of long guns.

There is no problem with your friend owning such a rifle in VA. Your friend can just find an FFL to have the lower shipped to and then he can just get it from him. Depending on where he is from in VA, I know a FFL that does transfers for $10 so your friend can get the lower for the cost of the shipping + the $10 which still insn't to bad.

VA-gunnut: Does VA permit out of state transfers of long guns? NY is restricted to contiguous states.

VA does allow for residents from other states to come here and purchase long guns. I have had friends and family come to VA and purchase long guns and then transport them back to NJ before.

Since I have never tried I don't know for sure but Virginia has quite relaxed regulations about firearms and since any citizen in the US can buy a long gun in VA I would think that there aren't any regulations prohibiting a resident of VA bought a long gun in another state.

As far as federal law is concerned, you can give your friend that AR lower while he's there, but it has to go through an AZ FFL. Effectively, your friend is buying a long gun in AZ as a VA resident, which (federally) is OK. Basically, it's still an interstate transaction so it has to go through an FFL either at the AZ end or the VA end (but not both for long guns at least).
I am not aware of any law in VA that would proscribe this. Perhaps you would be best served by shipping that lower to his FFL in VA. Cost would be the same except the shipping. |

If you can find a dealer in AZ that is willing to the transfer there for you then I would say go ahead and do it. The problem is most FFL's don't like to do these kinds of transfers for some reason. He definitely can have it shipped to VA and picked up here so that is always an option in the end.
