I live in Ironwood Michigan right on the Wisconsin border.
Can I purchase a long gun from a Wisconsin resident without going thru a FFL.

As far as I know yes. A pistol would need to go through a FFL if im not mistaken. Let the more experienced legal people tell you for sure soon.
No!
If you need a longer explanation, there is a sticky in the top of the "Legal Beagle" area.

Do you reside in the state of Michigan or the state of Wisconsin? What does your driver's license say? Who do you file your state taxes to? Should answer your question.
You cannot purchase any firearm in a private transaction from a resident that resides in another state. They would need to ship/bring it to an FFL holder that is registered in the state of Michigan. If the seller is an FFL holder and the purchase is for a long gun, then you could purchase it, even if you don't reside in that state.
I live in Michigan and want to purchase a long gun from a Wisconsin resident.
Can a Wisconsin FFL do the transfer?
Called a Wisconsin FFL he stated he could transfer a long gun to a Michigan resident but not a hand gun, which would have to be shipped to a Michigan FFL to transfer.
Thanks.

Thanks for setting me straight. Good to know.
