OK, have you ever passed on a Midway price and bought the item somewhere else for a dollar less, or $5, or even more less? Why did you do that? Because you look out for yourself, not your "friendly" or "favorite" retailer. Do you consistently pay more to buy local instead of ordering online? No? Well, if you don't do those things, STF UP. If you don't like Midway's price, don't pay it. Buy someone else's for less, or do without. We should all have learned by now to buy when prices are low against times when prices are high. This isn't our first rodeo, but you wouldn't know it from this thread.
Midway is a great resource. As is Graf's, Brownells, and a couple hundred other places. And our local gun shops, too. None of those folks created this mess. Remember who did, and remember the jerks who perpetuate it. And don't buy from the latter in the future.
