Am I going crazy here fellas or does Midway USA seem to have cut back dramatically on it's gun parts?
Gunsmithing Changes at Midway?

Re: Changes at Midway?
As of this morning, they show 32,513 parts in their Gunsmithing & Gun Parts category:
http://www.midwayusa.com/find?dimensionids=13946&cm_vc=649PopCat
Now, their availability often sucks, but that has been the case for the past several years and is certainly not a problem that is exclusive to Midway.
You're going to need to be more specific - is there something you have found that used to be available, but no longer is listed in their catalog?

Re: Changes at Midway?
Go to gun parts by make and model. They now have exactly 12 receiver assemblies for AR10/308 variants - and those are assembled receivers - good luck finding a stripped one. WTF?

Re: Changes at Midway?
Yeah - wonder why LOL! However, I would have thought they'd just be listed as back-ordered or out of stock. The fact is that they are just not shown on the site any more which would imply to me that they've stopped carrying them.

Re: Changes at Midway?
MidwayUSA, in my experience, has never been a great source for stripped AR receivers regardless of platform. While they have a sizable variety of other AR parts/accessories, I wouldn't start looking there if I was in need of a receiver.
If you post up exactly what you are in need of, I or others here can probably point you in the right direction for parts, but as has already been said...finding major components/receivers in stock and ready to roll right now isn't going to be an easy task depending on what you need.

Re: Changes at Midway?
I was just looking for the Remington receivers and they aren't there either.

Re: Changes at Midway?
Check on gunbroker for the ar parts. Several retailers run their stuff there. Bet you can find either the parts or assembled pieces you need.

Re: Changes at Midway?
According to midway when I called them for lever gun parts they are no longer selling lowers, 1911 frames, or anything else requiring an ffl after current stock is gone.
