No. There are laws that state the purchaser must be who the firearm is transferred to, its to avoid "strawman" purchases (prohibited possessors obtaining guns by having someone else purchase them) you'd have to buy it in your name, then pick it up yourself, and then go through the process of transferring the gun to your brother. Or you could purchase him a buds gift card in the amount of the rifle, then you can either email or print and mail the gift card to him and he could purchase it, and pick it up from his ffl.

Mike, not going to get into all the legal stuff, just Bud's policy. --- "Due to firearm regulations the Customer name must be the intended recipient of the firearm, meaning no one can pick up the firearm but you--the actual purchaser. If this information doesn't match, your order can be delayed or canceled with fees. Simply put, no one can accept transfer of a firearm except you, the actual buyer. If you would like to purchase a gift for someone, please purchase a gift card from our website. You will be able to access a printable copy from your Bud's account or email it directly to your intended recipient. Then, the person you are purchasing the gift card for can apply the gift card code to their account, under their name." ------ Video here >>>> youtube.com/watch?v=W6jjsAI7voY

Mike, no Sir. It would be best to buy a Buds Gift Card in the full amount of the purchase and have your brother order it in his name so zero red flags are produced for what the ATF deems as a Straw Purchase. You can do a mock check out to get the full amount. Cheers and you and your stay safe! https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411535980
