Bad Experience with Bud's Guns

[Area51]

Bud's Guns-Do Not Buy From Bud's Guns

Strictly a low end on line purchase or attempt to purchase.
Weeks of run around on an action they addressed incorrectly. Big mistake trying to use this low end operation.
There are much better resources such as Bruno's.
Avoid Bud's Guns if at all possible, of just say no to Bud's. Its just an on line marketing come on.
No response when things go wrong and they do with Bud's Guns.
I had to threaten bank legal actions to get them to resolve the issue and a refund, all fault of theirs.
No to Bud's Guns.

Additional information;
Turns out FedEx, the worst shipper n the country is also to blame. Low end, non-English speaking drivers, super low grade types out here.
Buds sucks, FedEx sucks, banning both out this way.
Anything else is strictly a case of good luck.

I have purchased a number of guns from Buds and they were great.

I bought one rifle abt 15 yrs ago. Seems they "kind of forgot to mention" previous owner had etched his name proudly on the action above the stock line........

Caveat Emptor!!

Yep, shoulda asked for more closeups I reckon.
I sold a 243 Sako from an estate years back w rings in place. I overlooked the fact they were a Weaver style. Never had them off.
When the buyer removed them, the action had been professionally milled for the "cross bolt". He contacted me and we came to a $ agreement, which surprised him. Not my fault for knowingly misrepresenting but definitely NOT his.

I've bought several guns from Buds and never had a problem.

When you don't explain the facts surrounding the transaction it makes me believe it is a case of sour grapes.

 

[LuvDog]

I’ve Bought 2 rifles from Buds and both went without a hitch. That was a couple of years ago though, so maybe this is something new

After this holiday season I think it's pretty obvious USPS has secured the title of the "worst shipper in the US".

 

[Fuj]

I only had one dealing with Buds. Price was better then
most, until it was not. Shipping fees across the board were
higher then "Grab A Gun". I also got socked an extra fee
for using a credit card. "Grab a Gun" over Buds, any day.

I only have bought one rifle from them. 2 years ago just before Christmas. According to fedex after 3 delivery attempts they said it had the wrong address. This is an ffl. How is it wrong address when it should have been checked. FedEx would not give me any other info since i was not shipper or reciever. It got sent back to buds. I tried to contact them. No answer. All communication had to be done by live chat. Who runs a business this way. It was sent back out but was after the new year. 1 month later fron first ship out. Due to lack of customer service as far as never being able to talk to someone directly i will not buy from them again if i can so help it.

Purchased 2 from Buds...smooth transactions.

 

[Sniper338]

Buda shipped me a broken jacked up Mosin nagant several years ago. My ffl looked at it and sent it back for me, I never took possession. They sent a better one second time around. The others I've got from there never a problem.. prices aren't as good as they used to be. Im just not a fan of buying anything I cant put my hands on first.

 

[BoilerUP]

Never had an issue with Buds over multiple orders for firearms, bulk bullets, triggers, handguards, etc.

Nothing about the process was "low end".

YMMV

I've had nothing but great experience with Bud's. The only one thing. Takes them about 2 weeks before you get what you ordered.
