Buds frustration

[wizzer368]

Buds wouldn’t ship a Colt 6920 Magpul to me in Maryland because it came with 30 round mags. Even though my FFL is a class 3 dealer and could take them out. I tried to talk to them and they just wouldn’t budge citing a policy that is not on their website. Allegedly the policy from Bud is they won’t ship guns if how it is packaged is not legal for me the consumer to pick up.
At first they tried to tell me how the Gun was not legal to own in the state. What a joke!

Had similar problem with J&G. Gun was not on roster, therefore they would not ship to MD. What a joke F'n morons. How the hell can we get them added to the roster, if it was illegal to ship them to MD?

If it is really a good deal, see if one of the VA IP's can get for you and then take out the mag and ship it to your FFL.

I got it sorted I got the FFL to order it from them without an issue so "I" didn't buy it

I've noticed that there are several internet retailers who will not ship a firearm to Maryland if it is sold with a magazine that isn't MD compliant (20+ rounds). If you tell them they can KEEP the magazine and just send the gun, they still won't do it.

You might ask if they can create a listing on their website for the gun without any magazines, so you can purchase that specific item and there is a better audit trail for them. Best of luck.

***edit;; there ya go.. glad you were able to make it work.

nice workaround! i'll have to use that one.

I had the same issue with Bud's once on a used gun (wouldn't take the mag out) so I just ended up not buying it.

A few years ago I bought a WASR from Classic. It was sold with 2 30 rounders. I bought 2 20's to ship with the WASR and had the 30's sent to my brother in PA.

No problem.

PS I visited my brother few weeks later!!

Yeah, dealing with internet retailers for firearms sales is very hit or miss... that's generally why I like to buy used. Individuals don't seem to mind as much if I tell them to keep the magazine on my dime.

CDNN is really the place that drives me nuts: they sometimes get some really rare handguns, and they just flat-out refuse to ship any handguns to Maryland. You can do a two-step through an out-of-state FFL in a pinch, but it's annoying as hell.

thats the only issue i've had with Bud's is the 30rd mags. if you can find an AR that comes with the 10/20rds they will ship it.
