    Well, then they need to enforce their contracts.....

    As a consumer, I could care less. All I want is a good price and good service, without having to play any games to find out what kind of deal they will give me.

    Have they shipped your order? I've had PMags and Glock mags on order since Labor Day, and so far they've charged my credit card but haven't sent anything. They say they don't have stock. So I ended up telling them to cancel the order, and I'm still waiting for that to go through. Not answering the phones right now b/c of religious holidays.

    Anybody had good results from Top Gun Supply?

    They do. Remember though that not EVERY dealer buys directly from Magpul.

    Yes, we understand what you want. You still did not answer my question though. How do dealers tell the consumer about discounts without breaking MAP???

    Well I have no ties with GoTimeGear but I have to say I placed my order on Saturday or Sunday and it is out for delivery via UPS today. That is NV area to Chicago area in 3 days from my order. Plus their price is great right now with the 15% off coupon code you use during check out. I have no patience to deal with people who charge you for something that is not in stock, aren't a better deal and then do not want to communicate with their customers. There are to many good retailers online to deal with, why give your money to someone who gives poor service?

    I just received my 14 brand new pmags and my knoxx stock, which is already installed!!! Will see this weekend how it works.

    Can't beat a pmag black non window for $12.07 each no tax!

So yes the prices on their site do not reflect the 15% off, it is applied with the coupon at check out and is in your subtotal line. So my mags did cost me $12.07 and the stock and saddle I purchased was also a 15% discount which is cheaper then anywhere else I could find them.

    Thanks. I will give it another go.

    Worked like a champ. Just bought 30.

    Maybe you guys should contact the MAP contract creators/enforcers and ask them directly?

    If this rule is hurting your sales, maybe the contract needs to be rewritten to allow you guys to let the customers know about discounts.

    In any event, I wish you the best of luck.

    No need as I already know the answer (cannot list products for below MAP in written form).

    Tell that to the manufacturer. We do not write the contracts, the manufacturer does. If you want to sell the manufacturer's products, you abide by the contract. It is that simple.

    For the those that do not understand MAP and what it does, here is a quick lesson.

    MAP protects small dealers from large dealers (as the larger dealer can buy in QTY and under cut the smaller dealer). MAP also protects big dealers from small dealers that will sell gear at their cost and and work out of the garage with no overhead.

    So why is MAP good for the consumer? Simple. If there were only a handful of dealers left in business, then you would never find any deals or discounts as there would be no competition.

    If you choose to interpret what I said in that way, that is fine by me.

    "Who in your little world are you trying to prove that your made out of gold and can't be sold"?
