I've done direct transfers regularly in South Carolina where it is unquestionably legal under US and SC law to directly transfer a firearm from one SC resident to another SC resident.
Some states have more restrictive laws and require an FFL to handle transfers.
If it was a firearm I wanted I might go through the FFL but would require the seller to pay all fees because it was his choice to use an FFL - otherwise no deal.
Most of the firearms I've purchased have been from out-of-state, including one several weeks ago, so they must be shipped to my FFL under US law.
