No. It is only verified buyers that can access the ratings page for the weapons sold by Bud's. Bud's does review the ratings before they are posted to discuss and attempt to fix any issues raised about Bud's serve. As you can see these weapons are tracking about 75% 5-Star rating so 25% of people believe they are something less. Bottom line: you have about a 3 in 4 chance of getting a 5-Star gun if you order one. Best of luck!

No, it can me anyone as anyone can now purchase these surplus pistols. I have heard of some people that were very unhappy with a worn out model even with a missing magazine. Most people seem to have gotten lucky and are happy with theirs. They are shipped randomly and can be refused by you at delivery is you dislike the one you get.

It looks like actual owners have received and rated this pistol. I assume a few Buds employees may own own one as well but the vast majority are outside owners.

The reviews are done by the customers that have bought the gun, Now I have no ideal if or how many of them are Team Bud members. But anybody can be a Team Buds member.
