Because Buds has retail stores, not just online business. They are separate entities. You can not order from the stores online. I am not sure why they list that inventory on the website.
Buds has two basic sales models they have the retail stores and the online sales the inventories are totally separate guns can show out of stock for the online sales and still be in stock in any of the 3 retail stores you can call the retail stores and see if they will sell and ship you a gun but that is up to the retail store and not part of Buds online sales company The 3 retail locations and phine numbers are Buds Gun Shop & Range, Lexington KY 1105 Industry Road Lexington, KY 40505 Buds Gun Shop and Range 2270 Two Rivers Blvd. Sevierville, TN 37876 865-774-2007 Uncle Lee's, Greenville, KY 820 N Main St. Greenville, KY 42345 270-641-0753
Fred, due to current events, lower staff levels and out of control online order volume, Buds has moved more of their inventory to in store sales only for foot traffic sales only. This may be a more sustainable arrangement for them. I have already asked and the answer was NO to shipping from retail store inventory. Of course this does not help non local folks looking for firearms. Hopefully they will go back to regular status. Cheers and stay safe!
