For this, I would still send via an FFL, if you carried it in your vehicle, it would be totally legal, note, that this can be interpreted to mean that it can legally be received, does that mean shipped?

So, if I own a gun that has gone through the paperwork at an FFL dealer, I can send the gun to a restorer that has an FFL license, no problem. Now after the gun has been restored, he has to send it back to my FFL dealer again and not straight to me, is that what you're saying.
