They are a middleman/reseller, so anything you order from them actually comes from a distributor. That's ok. But since Bud's can't actually guarantee the inventory of their distributors things can be hit or miss on actually getting what you ordered in a timely manner.
Not true. Their retail store/inventory is on Industry Road in Lexington, KY. It's a very large store with an excellent, indoor range attached.

Do they have any other locations? I'm pretty sure I saw a Buds gunshop in sevierville while visiting the smokeys, and it looked like their logo.

Not to my knowledge. I don't pretend to be in the inner circle, but I've always known him to be a single location outfit.

I stand corrected. Don't know if they are the same entity.

I just called Marty. They are Bud's first franchise store. They have some connection with the home retail store, but no connection with the website business.
