inspect all firearms thoroughly BEFORE proceeding with the transfer. Once a new firearm is transferred to you, it is considered used, even if un-fired. Consequently, we cannot accept returns on firearms once they have been transferred into your possession. Also, we DO NOT reimburse FFL transfer fees on returned items. **Upon discovering a defect AFTER the transfer, the firearm MUST be returned directly to the the manufacturer for replacement or repair (in accordance with manufacturer's warranty policy). By sending a defective firearm directly to the manufacturer, you can avoid the unnecessary transfer fees associated with returning the firearm to us through your local FFL dealer. Manufacturer repaired firearms can be returned directly to the customer without additional FFL transfer or associated fees. BudsGunShop.com will provide a prepaid label to ship the firearm to the manufacturer, if a prepaid label is not covered under their warranty.

Larry, absolutely yes. Just do a thorough inspection before filling out any paperwork at your FFL Dealer. If anything is awry, just refuse the transfer, contact Buds who will arrange pickup and when received back, either refund or replace at your request. Cheers and stay safe!

Larry, yes, when it arrives at your FFL dealer and you go to pick it up before doing any paperwork thoroughly inspect it. If you find an issue you can have your FFL dealer return them to buds and you will be refunded. Once you transfer them into your name though you cannot return them. Hope this helps.

Larry, as long as you haven't accepted the transfer from your FFL, you can return them. Just let Bud's know and they will arrange to have it picked up and sent back. Once you accept transfer, they become 'used' and cannot be returned.
