| What is it? On their website it says you can fax a copy of your FFL for dealer status. Anyone tried a faxed C&R? They don't sell firearms, so it's just proof you have one right? Do they automatically issue you a dealer account or do you have to call them? |

The C&R discount just got seriously cut back. The difference between this catalog and the last is huge, and most of the items that were $40 and $50 discounts before are now a $1 discount. In most cases, it's negligible at best. Dunno why they killed it, but it sucks. I'll be spending my $$ at Grafs from now on. |
There are still some sizeable discounts, but I'm sorry to hear that I missed the ebst of it.  Think I'll see what Grafs has to offer... |
Swingset, I just did a spot check and the discounts seem to be about where they have been. For example, once fired 45 ACP brass was $76.99/1000 retail, but $52.99 dealer. However for sale items, there is almost no difference between retail and dealer prices. Dealers get a token $.10 difference in a lot of cases. I just called Midway and they said that they have not made a policy change for C&R holders. Have you checked the expiration date on your C & R? Midway said that what sometimes happens is if your C & R on file with them is not current, there may be a change in your price structure. All you would have to do to get the dealer discount again is to send them an updated C&R. |
I checked 10 different items in my catalog just now, things I've ordered in the past with the discount. Before those discounts amounted to 10-15%, now those discounts are in the 1-3% range, every last one of them. For example, 1000 rounds of Wolf 55gr. .223 is only discounted $1, whereas before it was discounted $15. A LocknLoad AP press was discounted almost $100, now it's discounted $1. |
You can also do the same with the club membership with Sportsmans Guide.  I have also noticed that the Brownells discount is more significant than the Midway. I just ordered a DPMS AR barrel - Midway discounted the barrel by $10 or so, Brownells by almost $30. I do prefer Midway's site setup. |
