Possible lesson learned for others here.
Buying a gun for someone else, particularly if you think they might otherwise be prohibited from owning one, is a felony offense that the government takes very seriously called a "strawman sale."
You should not ask to buy a firearm for someone else, unless, as noted, they are going to be completing the 4473 as the legal purchaser.
That is why, in many raffles or auctions, rather than a firearm, you get a certificate for the firearm, and then you go to the dealer to complete the paperwork.
Firearms rules are taken seriously and people are prosecuted every week. Do the right thing and stay legal.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
