Marc, no Sir. Team Buds membership is not required for the majority of firearms listed at Buds but, the membership does have it's advantages. Just look them over and decide if they are worth the small yearly fee here : budsgunshop.com/teambuds.php

no only firearms marked team bud only require membership.

No you do not need to sign up. Bud's members receive additional incentives, but you do not need to be a member. Please before you order make note of the neon green on the top of the page with processing/shipping times. If you have realistic expectations it will save you from another post in a week asking when it will ship. Have a great day!
