From the BATFE FAQ site:

Q: To whom may an unlicensed person [i.e. the OP's uncle] transfer firearms under the GCA?

A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may sell or transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
Looks like the transfer is legal provided it is verified that the rifle is, indeed, a C&R firearm.

Just to be clear, though -- this is a transfer between two individuals, one of whom has a C&R license. This is NOT an inheritance situation.
