Not quite -- under federal law only if:
- The transfer is done by an FFL; and
- The long gun is legal in the transferee's State of residence; and
- The transfer complies with the laws of the State in which it takes place; and
- the transfer complies with the law of the transferee's State of residence.
See 18 USC 922(a)(3); 18 USC 922(a)(5); and 18 USC 922(b)(3).
