This may sound silly, but if I want to have my friend who's hanging onto my rifle send it to me, will he need to go through an FFL and have it sent to someone with an FFL near me, or is it possible for him to mail it to me normally?

I'm pretty sure you he'll have to go through an FFL to legally have it sent to me, but I'm not entirely sure, and google searches have not yielded a satisfactory answer. (I'm probably wording the question poorly)
