OK my suggestion; ...... not as sexy as giving the gun itself..... but a gun is not generally returnable ...... you loose big $$$s on a "used" sale or trade, or he gets a bunch of features he wants to change but will cost him extra $$s!
Make and print your own "Gift Certificate" for $XXX.xx towards an AR-15. (It can state it's limited to the purchase of an AR and/or accessories )
Redeemable by you..... not a specific store...... so he can spend $XXX.xx to get exactly what he wants...........from anywhere!!!!
Hey; you can throw in a dinner ......or he has to take you with him for the purchase....... or take you shooting with him afterwards!!!

Not to hijack the thread but you have to be careful doing it this way. One issue with this approach with gun is that you are possibly putting yourself in the position of making a straw purchase. The ATF typically follows the flow of the $$$ when determining who the is the "actual purchaser" of a the firearm on the 4473.
You are the actual purchaser if you are buying it with your money with the intention of giving the gun to someone as a gift as long as that person is not "prohibited".
You however are not the "actual buyer" of the firearm if you fill out the 4473 and then someone else pays for the gun with their $$ or you pay for the gun with the $$ they give you. If money changes hands in front of the dealer they have every cause to reject the sale.
If you want to go this route I suggest letting the husband purchase the gun with cash in his possession before you enter the store or with his own credit card which the wife can later pay the bill on.
