I have to "guess" this is them just being overly cautious due to the AG here. I just logged into my Midway account, looked at one and they were ready to ship it to me directly.at Budsgunshop.com trying to buy a cap & ball revolver and at checkout it said that due to my location the gun had to go to an FFL.
Did they goof or did I miss something?
Are black powder guns restricted to FFL sales in WA now?
If they are being extra careful not really sure what a lawyer is going to do? Buds has to have a lawyer suggesting they no longer ship them to WA. They are free to do what they feel works. Sadly this is what so many in WA have done to themselves. A lot of people here sat out elections and allowed this mess.Not right. You should refer that to William Kirk. Buds needs re-training.

Yeah. Not surprised. Never been impressed. So many other options. Funny thing about the 2020s: Customer service has become so sucky these days that, ironically, it has forced me to steer all my business to just quality customer service companies, even if they cost me a bit more. In the long run, well worth it.I have dealt with Bud's exactly one time. I bought a handgun from them and what arrived at my FFL was a long gun of lesser value. Bud's tried to have me keep it. It took over 6 months to get the whole mess straightened out and ended with me getting my money back and no handgun.
Would not do business with them ever again. JMTC
I have never had a problem paying a little more for things if the choice is one place with really bad customer service stories, and for a little more a place that everyone seems to love. Good service should be rewarded.Yeah. Not surprised. Never been impressed. So many other options.

Did they make you any offers or 'sweet deals' to influence you to keep it ?Bud's tried to have me keep it.
No just some buisness are dumb/ignorant and don't know the law. I know you literally can't do a pre 1898 gun on a 4473. That said I've seen some really "overly cautious" people only sell Blackpowders to someone with a chl (they almost never sell even below msrp lol). It's something I really won't miss in the west coast as I've never had anyone ask that when I visit out of state and want to buy a antique/Blackpowder. Honestly I could understand the ones who won't ship to WA semi auto ar due to the paperwork locals need they Honestly might not know how to tell if sent fake or real, or don't want returns based on uneducated customers however, wanting a ffl for a Blackpowder is ridiculous. If atf is ok they really should be. Just find another site to buy from.at Budsgunshop.com trying to buy a cap & ball revolver and at checkout it said that due to my location the gun had to go to an FFL.
