(An alien legally in the United States who has been admitted into the country under a nonimmigrant visa is generally prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms and a licensee may not lawfully transfer firearms to such alien. In addition, a foreign visitor is not a resident of a State and, therefore, may not purchase and take delivery of a firearm in the United States. A foreign visitor may purchase a firearm and have it exported by a licensee. The licensee must obtain an export license from the State Department for this type of transaction.\n\nI really am sorry.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nSimply ... you CAN'T!\n\nIn New Jersey, air rifles, pellet guns, BB guns, etc. are considered FIREARMS and require the purchaser to have a NJ Firearms Identification Card ... our state's version of a rifle and shotgun permit. And if you are trying to get a pistol version of an air rifle, pellet gun, or BB gun, you need a New Jersey Permit to Purchase a Pistol!\n\nNo one will legally sell an air type gun to residents of NJ without the proper permits, and will not ship them here!\n\nSorry ... it's the law we must live with!

First of all your a dumb#ss for letting him borrow it.  But second of all... they will not be able to trace the bullets back to you.  Because even though those bullets may have lands and grooves and striations made by your gun that can be matched 100% to the barrel and firing pin of your weapon, they would need your gun to match the bullets to make a match.  Your gun would have to be recovered at a crime or reported stolen and recovered in order to be run through IBIS or some similar database at a crime lab.  Unless they go and take all the .38 smith and wessons and test them which isn't going to happen.  But if you do hear something about a crime he commited I'd go to the cops anyways to clear your conscience.

While I would like to own a class three weapon, I wouldn't ask such a question in an open forum.  Currently, the convenience store (BATF) is pursuing several legal gunsmiths for various reasons.  If they found out you did this they would be at your door.
