taurus Legacy handgun warranty

Asked 10/07/2025 06:00 PM CT
by Hubert G in

It was my understanding that the older legacy firearms from Taurus had lifetime warranties that were particular to the firearm, not the owner and would thus transfer to the new gun owner as well. Is that still the case or is it only for the original owner?

My Normal FFL has vanished from Buds checkout

Asked 09/27/2025 08:03 PM CT
by Eugene M in

The FFL I’ve used for years is no longer on Buds check out page. Their FFL status is active & valid. Every time I’ve purchased from Buds my FFL would appear as default but now they are gone. I am a Team Buds member so I sent an email. Buds is great but they often make mistakes on their website product details so I’m hoping this is just a mistake. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks…

Order issues

Asked 09/20/2025 09:18 AM CT
by Steven H in

Just received (2) two supposedly brand new and unused firearms from Buds. 1) cerakote was a bit scratched, very minute, probably can't tell if you don't pay attention to detail. 2) Canik Mete MC9: when the slide is cocked back the barrel is super loose and can move from front to back a couple of mm, basically too loose for comfort. When I asked the ffl manager about this he said its normal. His response didn't sit well with me so here I am. What should I do?

I just purchased Winchester-Western shotgun ammo from Buds. When I got it, it looked old to me, like stuff I have in my locker that is old. Some corrosion on the brass head, etc. I checked the Lot Number via email with Winchester. It was manufactured in August of 2005. I think this is a bad policy.

I recently reviewed my experience with a Buds purchase. It was negative but 100% honest and did not violate buds policy. How long does it take to post the reviews? Quite frankly if Buds does not post it I cant do business with them as that would mean reviews that do not praise Buds are likely being deleted.
