Sorry if a dupe, but it seems like the heat is really coming on.  From Bud's Facebook page:



Another one bites the dust ! You may notice the GE Capital no-interest finance option has been removed from the website at the request of GE. This does not affect customers with existing GE Capital transactions, but unfortunately we cannot process any new finance transactions until further notice. Sorry folks....not our call.

Their prerogative I guess.  They probably don't want the risk of a GE Capital financed gun making it into the news given the current hysteria.

They're the ones behind the Wal-Mart Discover card I used to get an AR with no interest or fees for a year, I wonder if they'll do something so people can't do that at Wal-Mart anymore?

This is a tactic from the left.they are going avter the finances of the gun industry.  Reason  Cerberus sold out.

Might be related to the sudden uptick in sales and how much financing now out there now because of the rush.  Or may be because they are Government Electric.

I would venture to say GE products have contributed to killing more people in the world than all firearms combined over the past 25 years

lets see

GE mini guns
GE jet engines
GE Avionic systems

etc, etc, etc

kinda hypocritical...but that is normal for GE

Well, the people the government kill deserve it.  When private citizens get guns, its always bad.  Aren't you up to date, comrade?

Wow. I started a thread HERE last night asking if anyone on this site works at Buds because I was curious to know why GE Capital wasn't being accepted. I just opened a card with them through Buds last weekend and used it to buy a Colt 6920 and G19. I was waiting for them to fix the site so I could order a G26. So much for that now

Fuck ge capital, if you have any financing through them read the fine print.

They reserve the right to change your payment interval, interest rate, and minimum payment at anytime. And they will, and when your autopay goes through for the old amount they will say you violated the payment plan for the interest free financing, and demand all the retroactive interest on the next payment.

I have bought several guns from Buds and at one time there was a notice on the web site that you could not use the GE option to buy "black guns."  Their words.  That was probably a year ago when I picked up my AR-10 carbine.

GE's has always prohibited the purchase of "assault weapons" using their financing on Bud's website.   I was however able to purchase a PAP M92 with 6mo no interest from them during black friday weekend.

My wife and I have had GE Capital accounts with the Fin for years and have bought a lot of stuff during that time - as recently as last May.

I may call their Black Rifle Guy or one of my other friends who works there and find out what's up with dat.

Keep ordering from them. You'll get introduced to the inventory bait and switch and the bank account attack.
