The one thing to possibly be careful about is family member A doing the 77R to pickup the handgun and then the gift-receiving direct family member B doing a 77R in quick succession. Even when both transferees can legally possess, pass their background checks, etc, the first transaction might be interpreted as a straw purchase, esp if the first family member checked the box indicating that the firearm was for them and not another.
There was a recent case (Abramski) where a purchaser getting a law enforcement discount on a Glock received a check from an uncle (who wrote "Glock" in the memo), got the handgun (completing a 77R), and then transferred to his uncle who did the 77R. If I remember correctly, the prosecutors were trying to get Abramski for other reasons, but took advantage of the transfer to charge him with a straw purchase (a perversion of the intent of the law as both transferees were legal).
