I don't think anyone is advocating a straw purchase here. For example (as in my situation) I am selling my lower to someone in OKC (I live in Tulsa). It would be a lot easier to have the lower sent to SSP, and then I call them and tell them the end user will be picking it up and he will be filling out the 4473. That is all legal. I would gladly pay SSP a fee for looking up my name on a spreadsheet and changing the name/end purchaser.
It would save me lot of drive time OKC or having the lower shipped to Tulsa, going through a 4473, then shipping it back to OKC and having the end user going through another 4473.
