Midway USA

They have always treated me right for around 20 years, I have a business account, maybe that's why I don't get birthday cards!!! An occational 20% discount coupon might be better than the dealer pricing, particliarly on bullets!!

always had great service from midway, good people sometimes we pay a little higher price for peace of mind, when I order from them I know I know I will get it in about 4days or less, but I always like to talk to a real person on the phone , I haven't ordered from them on the net

I've had my midway tumbler for about 15 years and sent it off to have the motor replaced when they had the recall. Never had a problem out of it before or after. They do have great customer service and are fun to haggle with when you catch them at their local gun show or the big one in Tulsa. Lots of great deals on scratch & dent and open box stuff over the years.

I placed another order with Midway last night at about 7:42 PM. I forgot to add a $14 item. This morning I thought about it and tried to add it to my order. No Dice! Website said a handling charge would be added because I didn't place a large enough order. I got off the computer, and placed a call to Midway. I explained my delemia, Customer Service said, NO PROBLEM! Your order is already in processing and we cannot add to it, but, I can ship the item to you seperately and Midway will pay the shipping. You can't beat that with a stick!


My last order was placed on a Monday night and the brown truck rolled up in my driveway on Wednesday afternoon, same week.
10/11/08
The last Midway order came in last night by UPS and the extra package came in the mail this morning.

My money goes to Midway USA

Yeah, I placed an order for my wife's Ishy, and for a .314 sizing die. They told me it would come on tuesday, it came on monday. I had time to install the sight and hit the range the next day.
By the by. For those who can use the information. The Williams SMLE reciever sight DIRECTLY fits on the Enfield MKIII, and the Ishapore #2MK2A. That sight makes such a large difference in accuracy it is hard to describe.
My wife was hitting bowling pins at 100yds in five rounds after installation.

Midway has been pretty good to me over the years, close to 20 years I think. I order less from them lately since moving to Ridgecrest, where a small but VERY well-stocked gun shop has most of what I need (primers, powder, a few j-words, brass). I like the convenience of local availability, and the owner's prices are right in line with Midway + shipping. Supporting the local guy is good business, even if he was a few points higher price-wise.

..............I just ordered some stuff from Graf & Son. Checking prices both places and Graf was the same or a few cents more. The one BIG item was a Lyman DPS-3 powder dispenser and Graf was $10 cheaper on it. Midway's estimated shipping was a bit over $17 and that's about what I saved going Graf & Son. Doesn't always work that way as I've checked before, but $17 is $17 afterall

I will say that Midway's website is easier to get around in then Graf's.

I recently ordered two Uncle Mike's Reinforced Instructor's Belts from Midway. The first one, a large, was too small for a 41" waist and the second one, an X-large, was way too big for the same waist. I sent the second one back and got a refund ASAP on my card. I sent Larry Potterfield, the founder and honcho, an e-mail via the "contact us" link explaining the problem. He (the president of the company) emailed me back and
1: apologized for the problem
2: offered to take the used too-large belt back for a refund even though I had worn it (with sagging pants), and
3: said he was passing my note along to his tech people to get in touch with Uncle Mike's and see what the problem is at the manufacturing end.

I first patronized Midway when it was a concrete block building outside of Columbia, MO where I was going to Mizzou. I bought cast bullets from them. I have great pride in this company because of their service AND because of the NRA Roundup program that they started. It has generated several Million dollars to hep support our right to Bear and Keep Arms. They used to have free shipping and their prices were really reasonable but the world turns. I got mad when they went to U-pay shipping and minimum order size, but I got over it. FWIW.

I was doing a $2,000/ year, but I stopped doing business with Midway in 2000 and never looked back.

I deal with dozens of outfits now, but mostly BRownells, Midsouth, Graff, Lock stock and barrel, SWFA, Century, AIM, Cabelas, Berrys, Enco, ......

Come on fella's the shipping ain't that bad at UPS .You know us teamsters gotta eat to . LOL I've been getting stuff from em since 83' and it's easy. It does help to get it quick if your 140 miles away . I do order from others but not to often and I have gotten some outstanding deals over the years and as far as how much you spend I don't think that matters . I've had $5,000.00 yrs and $50.00 yrs and they always treat me fair. James

I like UPS, I get really fast service from Midway, Grafs, Midsouth, and Natchez, usually 2 or 3 days at most, I'm at least 3 states away from the closest of them. Got no complaints with any of them. Or UPS.

James, I like the pic of the little BOSTON. My wife and I had a female for 10 years, she was 3 when we got her. Lady went all over this country with us. She passed in 2007 and we still have some very sad feelings for her. We don't know if we are ready yet. Oh by the way I buy from Graf's , Midway, Mid-South, Brownell's and Natchez. They all are good at times. Thats why it's fun to shop fella's and look at all the wish books.

I received my order from Midway yesterday. I had ordered Lee hand trim sets for the 8x57mm mauser, the .38 special, and the .357 magnum. The shell holders for the 8x57mm and the .357 mag were threaded at a slight angle and the threads themselves were very crudely cut with burrs and gaps in the threads. The lock studs would only thread into the shellholder part way and then at an angle. Very poor workmanship by Lee. I called Midway and they are sending replacements free of charge at their shipping costs. That's excellent service from a very reputable company but that's always been my experience with Midway.
