Oscar, you must immediately abandon any plan to purchase a rifle for your granddaughter and have it shipped to Arizona. Attempting this is not a minor mistake; it is a federal felony offense known as a "straw purchase," with extremely severe, life-altering consequences. You would be criminally and financially liable, potentially facing a maximum of 15 years in federal prison and fines up to $250,000.
For your safety and the safety of your family, the only legal and safe way forward is to provide your granddaughter with money or a gift card. She must then go to an Arizona FFL, complete the ATF Form 4473 herself, and pass the required background check. Please understand that the potential consequences of ignoring this warning would be devastating.
Please take care of yourself Oscar, stay safe 🙏🏻
Good evening to you!! You cannot buy a firearm and have it shipped to someone else for pickup. The person who buys it must be the one who fill out the paperwork. If not that would be considered a straw purchase which is a felony. Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day. See below link for more information.

Absolutely, not!
Oscar Sir,
Unfortunately NO, you cannot purchase a rifle online in Ohio and have it sent directly to Arizona for your granddaughter to pick up. This would be an illegal "straw purchase" and a federal felony offense. The simplest and safest option is for you to give your granddaughter money or a gift card. She can then purchase the rifle herself, complete the ATF Form 4473, and pass the background check at an Arizona FFL.
Your grandaughter is very lucky to have an awesome Grandfather like you Oscar! Best of wishes 🙏🏻
Hi Oscar and welcome. At Bud's the purchaser's account would make you the person to pick up for ownership. An option is obtaining a Bud's gift card in the total purchase amount so your granddaughter could purchase it in her own name. She would simply create an account at Buds and make the purchase, and Buds would send it to a local FFL she chooses in Arizona. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy! budsgunshop.com/search.php/q/gift+card
No sir. Send them an e-gift card and they can make the purchase and have it shipped to them. Happy shooting!
No.

Hi Oscar, no sir, 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.
