AVOID "Bud's Gun Shop" On Gunbroker! BAD DEALER!
------------------------
The following comes from a member of BSB -
------------------------------------------------------------------
Just wanted to let everyone know the results I had from spending $1400.00 on a Weatherby 340 Accumark with "Buds Gun Shop".
The gun was advertised by them as coming with an Accubrake. I confirmed this with them by phone. The gun arrived without a brake and their response was "send it back, but we'll charge a 20% restocking fee". That's almost $300.00 - the brake costs only $150.00 factory installed.
They admit their add was wrong. Their excuse? Their ads are not always accurate because they post alot of them, I should have known that. Check out 41432244 and remember - they admit what you see (and read) isn't what you get.
I asked them to reduce the cost by the amount of the factory installed brake - and I'd even pay the shipping to Weatherby to have it done - and they said no. They offered to drop the 20%, but I'd still be out transfer & other costs - about $75.00.
All I wanted was what they advertised and what I paid for - what could be simpler?
Finally, they wrote an e-mail threatening to change their positive feedback on me to negative if I posted complaint. Safe to say no more "Buds Gun Shop" for me - ever.

I read their neg. feedback on the guy. Pure BS and worse they act like they are the martyrs. I don't buy guns on the net but if I decide to these yahoo's won't be on the list.
Take care Be safe Poacher.

hey guys sorry to dredge up an old post, but i just days ago bought a mossberg 590 from buds gun shop. guns works great but i had to run through hell with gasoline pants on to get the firearm! granted they were pretty cheap on their prices but heck o nobody there knows what's goin on. i plainly told the feller on the phone a 590 in matt blue about 4 times, what did i get? a plain blue. which i wasnt gonna waite another 8 days to get the gun so i took it. an if anybody is wondering their web site an the store is 2 different things. i found that out after driveing 45 miles one way. was it my fault for not calling ahead probably, but the web site was showing 5 590s so i got cash in hand an the guy says well whats on the internet site cant necessarily be expected to be found in the store. after scroling bown to the bottom of the page on the web site i seen where it said. looks like to avoid confusion it would be at the top. sorry for the rant but i had to join youre alls opinion on the subject...pk

Report their false advertising to the Gunbroker staff. They should be able to recover your lost from this bad seller.

Tazz......I read your post and want to just say, I would contact the folks that put that auction on and let them give you some advice. It is possible that they may be able to do you some good in that respect.
I personally would ask for the money on the muzzle brake! I would NOT send the rifle back to them period, that is if you are satisfied with the rifle via no muzzle brake.
If you must have a muzzle brake on that particular rifle, I would contact Randy Brooks at Barnes Bullets. You then can ask him to install the same type of a brake they used to put on Weatherby rifles some years ago. It will have the same taper as the barrel and they do a great job. The muzzle brake itself, has a lot of small holes in the brake. One can hardly notice you have a muzzle brake on the end of the barrel. Good Luck!

Hello,
Thanks for the heads up regarding the questionable service of Buds. I was so close to purchasing a handgun when I noticed your situation.
I will make other arrangements.
