As I understand it, I'll need an FFL in order to "manufacture" and "sell" firearms.

I'm looking to restore some cheap old mausers or mosins then giving them to a friend (whom is legally allowed to own firearms)

Now, if I were to purchase a rifle and then "gift" it to a friend, after restoring it, would I still require an FFL?

He lives in Arizona right now, so I don't think state laws are going to hinder a transfer of ownership.

If someone can clarify I'd appreciate it.
