If you transfer it to the RFD, then yes.

If you sell it to the RFD yes, if it's lodged with him for sale it's your property so on your ticket, then the RFD can return it.

If you want it off your ticket this will very likely 'test' your relationship with the RFD or at best demonstrate the desirability or otherwise of the rifle in question. Most RFD's, as of writing, simply don't want or need customer guns cluttering their display racks or taking up valuable secure storage space.

When i did this i (and the RFD) informed Licensing that it was lodged with the RFD but was still on My ticket

My issuing authority was happy to take one off my ticket with it being lodged with an RFD and do a one for one. I guess it just depends on the force in question?

The easiest way to decide who owns what is to imagine that you are now dead.

Does the rifle belong to the RFD? Of course not. It belongs to your estate. If the RFD does not sell it then the executors of your estate with suitable s7 can come and take it back.

But if in the meantime the RFD does sell it...on behalf of your estate to a third party the following applies. The rifle belongs to the third party and the proceeds belong to and should be paid to your estate.

However if the vice versa happens and while the rifle is with the RFD for a sale on commission and the RFD dies but you are alive his executors will want you to take back your rifle.

This is why lodging a rifle with a RFD for commission sale where you still reatin "title" to it does NOT entitle you to a "one for one" as possession in firearms law means not only physical possession but also who has "title" to the goods.

And if you claim such you may in fact be prosecuted.
