Some people have no problem with them and others have nothing but trouble... If what you order is in stock, you generally don't have a problem.

Oh you poor fellow! I suggest you try to cancel the order ASAP. I've read too many horror stories over the years about these people. No shippment, wrong shippment, get something it breaks is under warranty and can't get a replacment or a fix from these people. Avoid at all costs is my take on them.

If you can get it anywhere else I would advise using that other source.

Dang, I was kind of hoping to get some vintage style gear from them.

Sounds like it's not worth the risk.

One of the members here just ordered a scope mount last month and got what he ordered shipped quickly... Others have VERY different results.

If I couldn't find something anywhere else, I'd call them and varify it is in stock or get a notice when they had it in stock...

I've ordered AK scope mounts, rails and a few other things from them in the past.
ZERO problems and items shipped fast.
I don't know what's going on with them now.

They said it was IN STOCK when I ordered. Now it is NOT so I started a reverse of charges to wake them up. I have sen (11) pleas fro answers between fax and on line. I gave up. Midway can get what I want, $250.00 more but they have it.

FWIW I've done biz with them several times. One time ordering a Russian-made scope mount, another few times ordering Russian milsurp gear.

Quick delivery, good merchandise in my case. Sorry to hear about all the issues.

Why I buy from Midway, NO BS, Night scope was here EARLY and as advertised. Now I have to learn how to use it.
