Clifford, buds preferred FFL dealers just means they have agreed to accept all incoming transfers of firearms purchased on buds and you don't have to contact them before purchasing but I always do to be safe so there's no surprises like vacations or anything. If the FFL you plan on using isn't a preferred dealer just contact them and make sure they're willing to accept the firearm/transfer beforehand. That's the only difference. If interested here's a link to buds FFL locator and down towards the bottom explains preferred dealer vs not preferred. Hope this helps and you're very welcome, link here................... budsgunshop.com/ffl.php

No difference to you I do give my dealer a call/e-mail so he is expecting it
