Disappointed in Midway USA

[oksportsman]

Ordered 2 30 round, 2 20 round & 1 10 round PMag on December 22nd. First backorder date was February...then March...then April...now May. Is anyone else getting back ordered PMags from them? I have had very good experiences with Midway USA in the past but either them or Magpul is not coming through. This is unprecedented times but how many months can it really take?

Magpul is currently filling all Colorado orders 1st, due to their impending doom. Midway is probably slammed on BO's right now.

Let me make sure I have everything straight. So you ordered 8 days after the shooting, well into the panic, after thousands if not millions of mags were ordered due to the panic...and you're disappointed with Midway because something that's completely out of their control?

Kinda looks a little different when you look at it that way doesn't it?

I also have quite a few mag on order that are outstanding, not with midway, but outstanding nonetheless. Lets look at this way, there is very little danger of us in Oklahoma having to worry about a mag ban, because of that I'm not too worried about when they show up. Now if I lived in New York or Colorado yes I would freaking out right about now. Otherwise unless you think that midway has it out specifically for you, in which case go ahead and cancel, otherwise just relax.

This +1

Unfortunately, yes, it's just part of it. I was fortunate enough to have ordered 20 windowed 30 round Pmags in mid December and got it last month from DSG. Same time I ordered several Grendel & Beowulf mags + Beowulf ammo from Alexander Arms and am still waiting on that in addition to several items from from DSG that didn't make the original order.

These guys are swamped and several months behind. That doesn't ease the frustration though...it's hard not to be pissed, I'm pissed, but not at AA or DSG, I'm pissed at the scumbags who raid the stores every morning buying everything gun related so that when Joe Average stops by after work to buy something it's gone. Then, miraculously, it appears on Armslist or, yes, even here on OSA at a huge markup. So you have Joe Average forced to just quit the sport/hobby or pay the inflated fee which gives Fred Sh!thead even more money to buy even more stuff the next morning. I also blame companies like Cheaper Than Dirt who are gouging the market and keeping everything jacked up on their end. I read an article the other day where Magpul (iirc) was talking about trying to limit certain dealers (CTD) from getting their orders at the normal price then turning around and tripling the cost to a market that can't get the products they need.

I'm frustrated with not getting my orders but I'm even more frustrated with companies gouging the public, fellow "shooters" gouging each other and the idiots who caused this mess to begin with.

We have to stop gouging each other and work together to stop this or the government will have us exactly where they want us...no additional guns and no ammo for the guns that we do have.

Hope you get your order soon. You might consider ordering from DSG, they seem to have order turnovers, that while not fast, are faster than anywhere else I've ordered from. Good Luck and remember if you know a "gouger"...administer a "change your ways" sermon or break his hands, whichever works faster.

Perhaps the thread title should have been worded better. Not sure it's Midway or Magpul or all of the craziness or all of them combined. That said, month after month after month of backing up dates is frustrating. Just somehow seems companies as large as Midway & Magpul would have a bit better idea of when the orders might be filled versus delay after delay. Knew they were backorder when I made the order just wondering how long the delay will actully be.

As another poster said it's frustrating to see ad after ad of very high priced magazines for the same sellers while honest folks who did not over order are seemingly at the end of a very very long line.

Brandi said it very well. Just be patient. They can't ship what they aren't receiving, they haven't price gouged yet, and they are restricting sales of evil scary items to the commie states. Midway has always got my stuff to me and I don't even want to go look at how many orders I've done with them over the last 5 years. They just sent out an email yesterday that in celebration of their 1,000,000th active customer milestone they donated $1 for every one of them to the NRA/ILA. Yes that's $1,000,000. Do what you wish, but I'll be continuing to buy from them as often as I can.

Seriously? Are you blind to what's going on right now? Honestly, you have nobody to blame but yourself. If you waited this long to buy mags, then you were unprepared.

I ordered two AR Stoner 30rd mags from them yesterday and they shipped today. They have a limit of two and they are still in stock.

Midway isint accepting backorders on most AR mags right now.
