that it is only available in the retail store and not for online sales

Theresa, my theory is that due to current events, lower staff levels and out of control online order volume, Buds has moved more of their inventory to in store sales only for foot traffic sales only. This may be a more sustainable arrangement for them. Of course this does not help non local folks looking for firearms. Hopefully they will go back to regular status. Cheers and stay safe!

Not available on line.

So buds in addition to be an online retailer also has 3 brick and mortar stores (2 under the buds gun shop banner) at 2270 Two Rivers Blvd, Sevierville, TN 37876 and 1105 Industry Rd, Lexington, KY 40505. And one called uncle Lee's gun shop 820 N Main St, Greenville, KY 42345.
And they are reserving some limited or low quantity items to sell in their physical stores, meaning you can only purchase them if you go into one of the 3 locations, and not available for sales online.

Hi,
Buds separate its online and retail warehouse. This means that online products came from from online-only warehouses. If the particular product is "retail store only" then you are not able to purchase that product online and need to visit the physical stores for that. I hope this helps.
