Purchase like normal and then gift as you please. DON’T mention that it’s a gift depending on where you are buying. Some retailers have silly policies about that.

Your FIL needs to fill out the 4473 (legally)

Refer to question 11. a on form 4473

In Oklahoma, if you are gifting to a person in Oklahoma and they can legally possess the firearm, there are no other restrictions.

This. As long as it is not a straw purchase you are good to go.

No...not for a bona fide gift. If it's a bona fide gift you fill out the form just as if you were buying for yourself. Here's the instructions for question 21a right from the 4473:

Question 21.a. Actual Transferee/Buyer: For purposes of this form, a person is the actual transferee/buyer if he/she is purchasing the firearm for him/herself or otherwise acquiring the firearm for him/herself. (e.g., redeeming the firearm from pawn, retrieving it from consignment, firearm raffle winner). A person is also the actual transferee/buyer if he/she is legitimately purchasing the firearm as a bona fide gift for a third party. A gift is not bona fide if another person offered or gave the person completing this form money, service(s), or item(s) of value to acquire the firearm for him/her, or if the other person is prohibited by law from receiving or possessing the firearm.
