There was reference made to C&R in another post being good at Brownells, MidwayUSA and Graf & Sons. While it's true Brownells discounts for C&R it is my experience Sinclair will not. MidwayUSA won't discount for C&R at all anymore. If you think your still getting a discount, try logging out and checking prices.

Graf & Sons will still honor your C&R but you need to use that discount for $2k a year or at least try to buy in volume or risk loosing dealer discount. Of course if your habit is as bad as most, 2k isn't an issue.

I still get a discount at Midway but it varies by item.  I just sent my C&R to them a couple months ago.  Also, Grafs hasn't ever cared if I spent $2000+ per year there.  Some years I have but most I haven't.  I don't shop at Sinclair as they have nothing I can't find cheaper elsewhere but Brownell's has some decent discounts.

That is my experience but yours is different I guess.

ETA: I just tested Midway and can save $25 on a Kimber 22lr conversion over using my wifes account.

My C&R still gets me dealer pricing at Midway. On some items the discount is significant, on others it's not.

same here
However you can not use discount codes at all
Often times "dealer" and regular price are the same.  If thats the case, my wife orders it and I can use the coupon codes

+1
I've found that the amount of the dealer discount depends on the brand.  On some brands the discount is significant, on others it is 0 (maybe due to MAP pricing).

I believe you are correct. Time to call in and remove the "dealer" status from my account so I can start using some of these discount codes that get posted.

Before Log-in.



After Log-in.

This issue was done about 6 months ago with feedback from brick and mortar dealers who commented their dealer discounts at MidwayUSA were diminished. I have dealer status with Brownells and Graf & Sons. Last OP revealed no one who used Midway was getting C&R break that had claimed they were prior to logging on to verify pricing.

A lot of mail order component suppliers were discussed in OP and several C&R holders were not getting discounts like they'd thought.

I rarely use midway anyways. Grafs, Brownells and Powder Valley are usually cheaper.

Those are the only two I use anymore. And you can still use your coupons at Brownells with your dealer status.



Grafs is my go to for everything though, and their customer service is outstanding. If you pool a few friends together on your orders for stuff like bullets, powder and primers, youll hit the $2k a year pretty easily.

I was getting at the notable discount on the blue stuff. Problem is, all it will take will be one bitchy dealer to shut it down. Grafs has never stated a requirement to me on annual purchases.
