I would like to know what Buds considers "GOOD CONDITION" just to make sure our definitions are the same. Possibly a first time buyer here.

Question

James G. · Answer

Hi Anthony, Buds is a very conservative grader on used firearms.   Everything works, some wear on finish and working surfaces, minimal or no corrosion, but maybe some light freckling. Could have minor dents and scratches. Bore may not be shiny but should not be dark.

To me Good condition would be a "everyday Shooter" Buds grades firearms "tough" Everything works, some wear on finish and working surfaces, minimal or no corrosion, but maybe some light freckling. Could have minor dents and scratches. Bore may not be shiny but should not be dark.

Hi Anthony, Buds ratings are usually better then I would've thought. 90-100% is like new. 80-90% is good with something very minor (maybe a small scratch)
