Need some help regarding MD law and transfers between family

So I've been pouring over topics on MDShooters and the like for the past few hours and all I keep finding is info on transfer of "regulated" firearms. I'm looking to purchase a 45-70 henry bigboy as a 50th birthday/christmas gift (we're both cursed with the dreaded christmas week birthday :grin: ) for my father, unfortunately he lives in MD so the laws are foggy to me as how I would go about gifting the rifle to him, as I said every thing I find is either about handguns or evil black rifles.

Does anyone have some insight as to what's involved there? Do I need a MD FFL to give it to him or can I simply stick it under the tree and let him take it home?

If it's crossing state lines it needs to go through an FFL, family member or not.

I'm assuming you're referring to 18 USC ยง 922?

Well I could have hoped for better but I was afraid that was the only route....perhaps I should get him a house in DE instead first 8-)

Thanks guys,
