I did a quick search of a subscription data base (Fastcase) for a case in which a court looked at the "loan" exception to 18 USC 922(a)(5) and didn't find any.

Two things come to mind: (1) if you have to wonder if your particular transfer/loan is temporary, it probably isn't; and (2) and if it's for a particular use of definable duration (e. g., a day at the range or a hunting trip into the back country) it's probably likely to be considered temporary.
