The experience was great, shipping was fast. Process was easy to have firearm shipped to local FFL dealer. Firearm is excellent condition no problems there. Only hiccup was the FFL papers weren't shipped with gun causing some delay of final acquiring of firearm until paper work was faxed over.. enough rambling I would recommend buds to everyone.

It's a good rifle, just lacks a certain something. It gets the job done. I don't know how to explain it but there just isn't anything really special about it....

Extremely pleased with the firearm. Bud's service was wonder as always. They could, however, use a little more staff at the Lexington store to speed up pick up of online orders.

Very good entry level rifle. No issues with this rifle whatsoever. My only suggestion/ wish is that Ruger would have equipped this rifle with a 15" handguard. Total mil-spec. Shoots well. Light and handy. A mid-length gas tube would have been a nice touch too.

I purchased this AR and couldn't be happier. I understand this is an entry level firearm, but it is more than adequate for my use. It is solidly built and accurate and I've had no functional issues. It has features found on much more expensive rifles. Buds made the purchase seamless and offered really quick shipping to my FFL. I would highly recommend this rifle and Buds as I've never had an issue with them in purchasing or delivery.

A:Yes, you can make this or pretty much any AR-15 ambidextrous. You can add a ambi safety, ambi charging handle, and ambi magazine release. Only thing wouldn't be ambidextrous is the forward assist Wich isn't used very often and the bolt catch/release but you can even buy a Magpul bad lever Wich will extend the bolt release in front of the trigger so you can manipulate it using your trigger finger. Lastly this has a shell deflector on it already so shouldn't have to worry about catching brass in the face. Hope this helps.See 1 more answer | -

A:Yes that is a heavy barrel model, but you'd have to have buds remove the 30rd magazines and they don't replace them with compliant ones, or you could just buy the MD compliant model that ships with 10rd magazinesSee 4 more answers |

A:Mark, the 'R' was added by Bud's, I'm assuming it means 'Ruger. Could be because they have another item that is also 8529. The correct model is 8529. Have a great day!See 2 more answers | -

A:Yes, this is a full auto bcg and will work fine with the rare breeds trigger. As Paul said though I've heard some pretty bad reviews on the rare breeds trigger, of them malfunctioning some as few as 500 rds. Supposedly something to do with a design flaw of a spring. I thought about buying one but couldn't see spending 400+ on a trigger and having it Break a couple magazines later and as far as I know the triggers Don't have a warranty on them. Personally I'd choose to go with a binary trigger, so a bullet fires when pulling and releasing the trigger. Again the frt trigger sounds amazing and once they work out the design flaw I'd love to buy one if they're still around. If you do buy one you'll have to let us know how it goes. Good luck and hope this helps.See 4 more answers | -
