Normally higher priced firearms that have high stock levels will often be lower in price than a normally lower priced firearm that is low in stock and vice versa. you can save $ on firearms if you learn the 'Stock Level" game.

Hi MICHAEL, Buds uses an automatic inventory price update engine that runs every 20mins. Prices are tied directly to stock levels and will change as stock numbers change. As inventory numbers go down, prices go up and vice-versa. Usually when popular items get low in stock.

Buds prices are set by a computer program that looks a numerous factors and sometimes it makes for great deals here is what buds says about prices
From Buds “Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day.”
