Larry, I have bought the BUDs lifetime warranty several times. Never have had to use the service. So that is a good experience. It is pretty limited. This Supplemental Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the firearm against manufacturer's defects only. It does not cover the replacement or refinishing of parts that are subject to normal wear throughout the lifespan of the firearm. Here are the details.-----budsgunshop.com/warranties.php

Larry, this seems to have been hit or miss Sir. Just make absolutely sure you Register for your warranty within 30 days or it will not be honored either way. Cheers!
