Give your husband a home made gift card w/ the cash inside and a downloaded pic of the rifle, and then both of you go to the store. Then he can fill out the forms and pay the balance. I know he bought you a pistol, and it will probably never be a problem, but you know how too many people are about black rifles. Seems it would be best for it to be in his name.

There is no federal registration, so from that standpoint, there is no such thing as "in his name".
She doesn't need to jump through any special hoops. She can legally purchase the rifle as a gift for her husband. The directions on the 4473 even state that if you are "buying as a gift" then you are the actual purchaser. The only thing I would recommend is that she go to the store by herself so that it does not appear to be a straw purchase of any type.
