I can't see how what he did is illegal. Because the relative wrote him a check for the gun so it wasn't a gift and question 11 should have been answered "No"

What he did shouldn’t be illegal, but to your point ...
He took money from a relative to buy a gun for said relative. He “lied” on the ATF form 4473 when he declared himself as the actual buyer. He was not the actual buyer.

On the instructions for the current Form 4473 the answer for question 11a when giving the gun as a gift would be “yes”. https://www.atf.gov/files/forms/download/atf-f-4473-1.pdf
I can't see how what he did is illegal.
The man paid the purchaser in advance for the weapon, so he lost the ability to call it a gift.

He was not giving the gun as a gift.
