Depending on your state laws, you can assemble the parts and gift it, but you may have to do an FFL transfer to this person. An ATF agent with a grudge may say that you mfg'd a rifle and are in violation since you don't have your own FFL license.
Technically everything you have stated qualifies as a Straw Purchase right up until you take the rifle and your friend to a shop and do the official transfer weather or not required by law.
This individual is getting off light as he could have been charged with dozens of counts of pre-med murder and attempted murder http://articles.latimes.com/1999/aug/19/news/mn-1611
End of the day, it's on you. If the person you are doing this for is a responsible party that could otherwise go to a gun store and purchase a firearm on their own (able to pass the 4473) then there is not much worry. If you know this person as being unable to buy one on their own.....
As always, when in doubt consult an attorney, and take the information gleaned from the interweb with a grain of salt.
