If I understand it correctly, he would have to ship the handgun to your FFL, because in an interstate handgun sale, the FFL must be in the recipient state.

Your FFL could ship the shotgun to the buyer, because in an interstate long gun sale, the requirement is simply for an FFL; the FFL could be in either state.

What I have done in the case of trades is basically use FFLs at both ends. Let the FFLs confirm each others licenses, and when each has the local gun, they ship it. Sort of like gun escrow.

It worked pretty well for me, because the FFL can use USPS, and his transfer rate was about what it would have cost me to ship the gun, on my own, via UPS or FedEx.

Note that some FFLs will only accept interstate transfers from other FFLs. This isn't a legal requirement, but some of them are afraid of Bloomberg stings, etc.
