Bud's blows!!

[MoMan]

So we're in NY visiting Family and Friends, and staying at our Son's house. He decided he wanted to buy another pistol, and wanted a Beretta 92. He searched and found that Bud's Guns had some for sale with a 15 round mag. He placed his order online yesterday (Sunday), figuring they would just ship it without the mag. He got an Email last night saying there was a problem with his order and to call them in the morning. He called there this morning and they said they couldn't ship the pistol to NY due to the magazine capacity. These guns are Italian police trade-ins (so they're used), so no biggie on them keeping the mag right!!?? WRONG! He spoke with the guy on the phone and just asked him to send the gun to his FFL without the mag... NOPE, "we can't do that"! After trying to figure it out, the guy put someone else on the phone, again my Son asked why they won't just ship it to the FFL without the mag, again "Nope, we can't do that"! He has purchased more than a few guns from Bud's, but not anymore.

Has anyone else had any issues with such a screwed up situation?? Seems to me, it would make sense to sell the gun w/o the mag, rather than walk away from a sale.

Just reaffirms my feelings on why I buy from a brick and mortar shop.

I do like their price match. You can easily knock off $50 if you write a random name in the box.

They wouldnt sell me a 460 because it was over 50oz. They obviously dont understand what a revolver is...but I bought it elsewhere.

 

[GOYABEAN]

It's hit and miss with buds try Beretta 92S Semi Auto Pistol, 9mm, 4.9" Barrel, Early Italian S Model, Black, VG Plus, Used.

You should be mad at Cuomo.

 

[Deplorable Me]

You should be mad at Cuomo.

Thank your local FUDDs.

 

[WileyX585]

Fuck Buds. Lots of online retailers will not remove the mag however. At least not a bunch I've dealt with. Send it to your house and then do an FFL to FFL transfer I guess. Good luck!

 

[kev74]

The mag release is in the bottom of the grip on those old Berettas. For me anyway it makes them less appealing.

I think Buds delivers from several warehouses, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were shipping straight from the distributors. They're probably not capable of pulling out a magazine.

Aim your rage at monkeyface and the lazy, shortsighted fuds who voted for him.

 

[Gardnaaa]

I've heard that they are great and then I have heard horrifying stories from people dealing with buds. Like firearms coming in damanged with serious chips in the finish and everything. So I won't buy from there. I like grabagun, I've ordered multiple times and they have been great. Everyone has different expirences with everything, and some will always be better than others. YMMV

This and this^^^^^^^

 

[CaseHardened]

Bud's would not ship a perfectly legal Semi-Auto Linberta Shotgun to my Massachusetts FFL.

Yeah, they do suck.

They did me a favor, tho.

I'm much happier with my 12GA KSG Bull Pup.

 

[Different Drummer]

Makes no difference where they ship from. No reason they cannot ship the pistol with it's original magazine to your FFL.
Your FFL just cannot transfer the gun to you with the magazine. You could let the FFL sell the magazine to someone who can legally own it, either in or out of NYS. He can ship it to someone out of NYS where it is legal to own. i.e. a relative or friend. there are options to ship the pistol and magazine together. Problem may be getting "Buds" to understand what the legal options are.

 

[MikeyCNY]

See if your FFL will pin the mag?

 

[gqllc007]

I have purchased from Buds several times. It's not Buds fault that Cuomo and the safe act is unconstitutional. I don't blame them. I blame Cuomo and company. If you don't like their policies buy from someone else. Internet ammo sales are not enforceable at this time but I can barely get anyone to ship to me other than the select few. Again I blame Cuomo

 

[Airborneguy]

Screw Bud's. I tried ordering a bolt action hunting rifle from them recently: no go. I tried ordering a 7rd 1911 a few years ago: also no go. Apparently they don't believe people in NYC should be able to own guns. I told them that. They denied it. I said sell me the gun. They said no.

Conclusion: Bud's believes NYC residents should not be able to own guns.

I've had that exact issue, and the 50oz revolver issue, a complete black Friday scam, and a stock availability, but keep my money for weeks issue.

They should ship it with the mag, then have your FFL remove it when he does the transfer. He is perfectly OK to have them, he can sell it to an LEO, or out of state, or whatever.

Thanks, he did get one from somewhere else.

We are! BUT, when a vendor acts like a dick.... I will hate them as well! I won't give them a pass on cumho's back!

It sure seemed easy enough to us for them to remove the mag. We thought about having it shipped to my house and doing the FFL/FFL transfer, but decided, fuck them!!

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Go easy on them, they are in Can-tuck-eeee.

Ya wouldn't think they would be such dicks then!
After all... ALL of the Can-tuck-eee-ers ya know are GREAT!!

 

[Ben Diss]

Fuck Buds. After I escaped New York and moved to Ohio, they refused to ship to me IN OHIO because my prior address was New York. Again, fuck Buds.

It sounds like they missed a lot of school because they were all too busy getting butt fucked by their uncle Rick, in a cabin, in Gatlinsburg......a lot.

That sucks, I would be pissed too.

 

[HighlandLofts]

You always have Dick's that started in Binghamton to buy from.

 

[thegatman]

Never had any trouble with Bud's but Sportsmen's Guide would not ship me a blackpowder Uberti Walker. Been a member for years.
Not anymore.

 

[Jackalope]

Sportsman's Guide wouldn't ship ammo that I wanted to order to my local FFL, they suck too. I think these larger companies are all managed by their legal departments, which don't have an understanding of the laws of NY. I guess it's not worthwhile to research the firearms laws in all 50 States. One would think that there would be some consistency in regulations between the States, or better yet, return to the concept of the 2nd Amendment, and eliminate all these freedom grabbing regulations.

 

[CaseHardened]

F Sportsman Guide.

Buy your BP Guns and supplies from small outfits, like I do.

No Issues.

But PLEASE, buy NOTHING MADE IN SPAIN.

Lest you care not for your eyes or digits.

Trump needs to remove the BUTT PLUG and help us out !

No, I'm not turning on the guy.

But for the LOVE OF GOD, be tough, my man !!!!

Agreed. There is a REASON they have such terrible ratings, despite awesome prices.

With the 50oz thing, when I showed then not NY law, but THEIR OWN SITE RULES about how revolvers over 50oz were legal, I got told to pound salt. On my 500.

Out $1,300 they went.

In my out of stock issue, they took the cash out of my account within SECONDS. Took them 2 weeks to get it back to me. Then, when they did, they pulled it out again, I overdrafted because of it, and got told again to fuck off.

Yeah they lost about $2500 between you and me. Fine by me. I got it a bit cheaper anyway.
