Y not ship?

[packnrat]

so why is it that the seller of a "off list" pistol can not give the pistol to a ffl ( in city A) and they ship said to another ffl ( in city B ) so the buyer can get the pistol?

all ffl legal but seller in one city, buyer in another?

been a couple pistols i would like but seller is way too far away, cost of two trips is way to expensive.

because the law says that's not a face to face transaction, and as such, is not roster exempt

They can do what you're asking, but it won't be processed as a PPT.

From a practical standpoint it's not auditable is essentially what it comes down to.

It's PC 28050

28050.

(b) The seller or transferor or the person loaning the firearm shall deliver the firearm to the dealer who shall retain possession of that firearm.

"the dealer". Not Dealer-A then some other dealer.
