MIDWAY - Dropping Discounts for Dealers

[Aloha_Shooter]

I've had excellent CS from both Brownell's and Midway. Both companies have been upstanding about supporting efforts to defend the Second Amendment. Having said all that, I'm not a dealer. I feel somewhat badly for those who were using Midway as a distributor but doesn't mean they deserve the hate I see on the part of some here. Adapt and overcome.

i switched to brownells after they started offering reloading supplies. I can get 99% of crap in one order now, and cheaper from them now...

Midway sure dumps a lot of money into the NRA and youth shooting and the RMEF.

Actually, the vast majority of the millions comes from their customers rounding up. Not saying they don't give any, but realize that getting a buck or so extra from a few million orders and then taking the credit for it directly is good advertising, but a bit on the slimy side.

Also, this is for business and dealers who are supposed to be buying and reselling and or putting those parts on firearms and making a few extra bucks via a better price...for volume. Probably one of the things that does this in is everyone and their brother trying to get a discount. Easily half of the people that try to get a dealer account from us are just after saving a few bucks for their personal purchase, and some are even willing to lie to get it, but have no intention of actually being a dealer.
