    Used Guns - Buds

    When I was looking at various guns on Buds, I noticed there was a gun I was looking for used, about 85% of new price. Anybody have experience buying used guns from Buds?

    If the used firearms are handguns, then it needs to be listed on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale or be exempt from it (LEO sale, C&R, OTP, SAE, SSE2).

        I've bought two used handguns from Buds over the years. It was a no hassle easy purchase, same as buying a new gun from them.

        Both guns arrived in the same condition as described in the add. One was a 1911 that had a poorly adjusted extractor, I'm guessing that is why it was probably traded in. After a quick adjustment it was good to go. I'd buy used from them again.
        Im a warmonger baby, I got blood in my eyes and I'm looking at you.

          Bud's has a good reputation.

          Only you can decide if an OOS purchase makes sense for you. 15% can get eaten up pretty quick after allowing for shipping cost, PLUS whatever your local FFL will charge for accepting the delivery. $35 DROS fee and sales tax will be same same.

            I've purchased from Bud's a few time. Never had any issues.

              Bud's is good to go. I only bought new from them, though.

              You might want to call them to confirm condition of the rifle.

                I went ahead and got it. Shipping was free (plus $8 for insurance), and saw on their website that if there is a problem, I can refuse the item and they will refund me my money. I also realized that Sportsman's Warehouse is the one local place that has it, and they want $950 for it new, and I got it shipped for $727, plus $25 out of state transfer fee, so roughly $200 savings, so I am good to go.
