I received this e-mail from MidwayUSA and the last paragraph made me think you would like to see profe that some Companies stand and for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment.
Let me put the last paragraph here on top;
"On Monday morning about 10am, when we went over one million active Customers, MidwayUSA authorized our bank to send a wire transfer of one million dollars to the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment; because we can and because we should."
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Valued Customer, One million is an attention-getting number, no matter what the circumstances. At MidwayUSA, Brenda and I - along with the MidwayUSA Employees - have celebrated a good many 'one million' milestones during the last 35+ years.
In 1983, our seventh year in business, we reached the milestone of one million dollars in business during a single calendar year. 2008 was the first year we filled one million orders for our Customers. In 2012 your NRA "Round-Up" contributions, through MidwayUSA, exceeded one million dollars during that single year. Please note that NRA "Round-Up" contributions come from you, our Customers, and each week since 1992 we have sent your contributions directly to the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment. Our Customers should get all the credit for that, we just collect and remit your money. Now, in March of 2013 came another milestone to celebrate - one million active Customers - Customers who have ordered from MidwayUSA during the last twelve months. For a country kid from Missouri, that's an amazing milestone.
I believe our vision to be the best-run, most-respected business in America, for the benefit of our Customers, our family values and our relentless pursuit of Customer Satisfaction are what brought us to this milestone of one million active Customers. Brenda and I, along with all the Employees at MidwayUSA, thank you very much for your support.
As you might imagine, we gave quite a bit of thought as to how we could celebrate. Should we choose our one millionth active Customer and give he or she a special gift? Well, we could have done that, but all of our Customers are equally important, not just the one who put us over the top. Then someone came up with the idea that we should donate $1 to the NRA for each of our active Customers. Well, let's see, what is $1 times one million?
And so it was! On Monday morning about 10am, when we went over one million active Customers, MidwayUSA authorized our bank to send a wire transfer of one million dollars to the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment; because we can and because we should.
There is a huge backlash growing to the tyrant in the White House...
I order lots of stuff from Midway each year, and with each order I participate in the “NRA Round Up”, where you can contribute money.
Midway is a great company. I’ve been dealing with them since the days they only sold empty brass and a few reloading tools.
Fastest service. I usually get my orders within 3 days... Four at the most if I order on a Friday evening.
I got the same email. ;-)
Wow!
I’ve always liked Midway, now even more.
I’d buy some more ammo (if they had any left...).
If they ever get more primers I’ll buy LOTS of ‘em! (Not expecting that any time soon. Sigh...)
I wonder if they have anything I need that they haven’t already sold out of?
Larry Potterfield is a great American.
Most of my shooting goods supply orders go to Midway USA. I have never had a problem with them that they did not fix immediately.
If you need anything to do with shooting they are the people to buy from.

Be sure to watch Midway’s Wednesday Night at the Range on the Outdoor Channel. That’s some good TV.
I haven’t bought anything from Midway in a while but I need some .45 brass currently. I know where I’ll be getting it now. maybe some .308 and 5.56 too.
This is the best-managed company in the world, with the numbers and awards to back it up.
What a great American Company. They put their money where their mouth is; unlike that creep that currently resides in our WH.
MidwayUSA, I am proud to be one of your customers.
When I need “pieces and parts”, Midway is where I go. I nearly cried when I read the email today.
These folks will continue to receive my business.
Let's be specific here: MidwayUSA was recognized with the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2009. Other award winners many would recognize include Ritz-Carlton Hotels, Caterpillar, Boeing, Motorola, etc. This is a major accomplishment, especially for a small business to meet the same criteria as large companies.
I'm together another order and will order again soon.
About a month back, Cabelas still had 45 acp brass, everybody else was out. I paid $239 for 1000 brass cases. It was Starline Brass. Starline sold it themselves for $149/1000. I just received 500 pieces of 460 S&W brass, it was two something. Starline will have 44 mag brass mid March, 500 for $99; but you have to order it now. Good luck on 308; it will be a while. I have 500 308 Lapua stocked up.
While the story is wonderful, it would be nice to know what kind of service or product Midway USA provides.
Having a million customers in one year is fantastic, but there are at least 40 million additional conservatives who just might need what they provide.
