Yeah, but the OP just wants to send his pistol to his brother. The brother would need to get the C&R. Seems like a waste just to receive one pistol, don'tcha think.

Have the brother contact a local gun dealer who has a federal firearms license to receive the gun for his for a fee.

... or if the OP wants to identify the locality where his brother lives, perhaps a forum member might volunteer who has a C&R and could receive the gun for him...

just stay withing the law... it isn't worth the chance getting caught... having federal charges brought against you, having the gun confiscated, etc.

Boston Mass. Does it get registered in the process? I'm a conscientious objector to gun registration. Keep and bear arms is pretty clear to me.

Sorry, but that is not a legal operation for a C&R FFL, you may only receive guns for yourself, not for transfer.

Johnny is absolutely correct, you would set yourself up as a straw buyer and it is highly illegal.
A C&R holder is a collector not a dealer. Recieving and transfering a weapon like this for someone else in your bound book would be BAD. Don't do it.
