There are no federal restrictions on loaning or renting a firearm. The problem that arose in California and Hollywood was that say you were the Propmaster on a show, call it a legal drama. Out of 22 episodes you maybe had firearms working in 4 of those episodes. So when the need arises, you would rent the pistols and long guns from your favorite prophouse.
Well, in the old days you would give your Teamster driver a run slip and he would drive to the various prophouses and do your pickups.
Enter California's new firearms laws and now you have to have one of your crew with an FFL go with the Teamster driver to pickup the weapons and now you've lost one of your coveted crew members to doing "milk runs" and production doesn't want to hire another Propman to help cover the set.
That may have been the reason for Rust using the weapons in their posession, they didn't want to incur the extra charges of having an IATSE member with an FFL joyride with a Teamster from Hollywood to Albuquerque.
