I went ahead and called the BATFE to clarify, and they stated that rifles may go to from a non licensee to a FFL, no problem. However the agent who picked up my call said to call Baltimore BATFE just to be safe....
Anyone know what the rule is on this? I wasted an hour today and the shopowner is somewhat antagonizing (I'm not going back there--ever).

The law states that a nonlicensee can send firearms to
any FFL holder.
However some FFL holders mistakenly believe that by only accepting firearms from other FFL holders, they are "safe" from transferring a stolen or otw "questionable" firearm (this is not so - there are no laws stating that FFL holders run checks on guns they receive). These FFL holders will tell you "it's the law", when it's really just their method of doing things.
You have broken no Federal laws.
