At the Bud's price of $1150, there's a good chance it's well-made; just like the old ones were. Maybe it's time to add one to your Woodsman collection and let us know. ;-)
I used to work as a sales clerk at Bud's Lexington store.
Just because the gun appears on their web site, that doesn't mean that they can make it appear for you on cue. I was in the showroom a few weeks ago to inquire about an Arex Delta Gen 2. It appears on the web site, but there isn't one in the showroom, and the sales clerk told me, "It
might take a few more days to get in than our orders usually do...." and yes, I've stood in his shoes, so I didn't pursue the matter.
Even if the gun is actually in the store, a customer might not be able to get it. One morning when I worked there, the first customer through the door was an elderly gent with a wallet full of cash, who'd driven a long way in from Eastern Kentucky, who was intent on buying an uncommon high-dollar S&W revolver from a limited production run, and he wanted it
now. I looked on the usual shelves and couldn't find it. I went back into the warehouse. Bud's gets tractor-trailer loads of pallets of guns, securely shrink-wrapped in thick plastic layers, at least once per week. Each pallet has a paper label with a bar code on it that can be scanned with a scan-gun, and when this happens, the inventory of each pallet is automatically added to the Bud's inventory. But we had no system in place to tell the in-store employees which pallet contained any specific gun. I spent 45 minutes opening and digging through pallets with no luck. I talked to the sales manager and he said to quit looking (we all had hourly sales targets), so I had to apologize to the customer and tell him that we just couldn't find it. He became rather angry, had the "if looks could kill" glare, swore he'd never buy anything from Bud's again, and stomped out.
