Mullet Man 2,114 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Just googled MD Arms and the website is no longer available. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=md%20arms&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CEgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mdarms.com%2F&ei=oskkUI2EMYLtqAGbwYHACQ&usg=AFQjCNF1VHT3w8NXXlFnWzfAG3Jf3XDq_w I know it's probably because they went to a distributorship and have no need for one. But don't most places keep something around to showcase their products and provide a vendor/distributor list? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Too many assholes badgered the shit out of him , until he decided to do wholesale to vendors ONLY. I do not blame him a bit. Mike will be missed, the good guys are getting harder to find, the assholes are chasing them off! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atlantic Firearms.com 170 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 They may me out of buisness or on Vaction we have not been able to get in touch with them for the last 4 -5 months hope everything is OK would hate to see no more MD Arms products .

poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Rumors like that drive the price of products skyward. It's not appreciated. As a vendor your word carry's weight.We already have to deal with people exploiting the panic buy BS. Mind waiting till it's confirmed before you go profiteering?

Atlantic Firearms.com 170 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 There is no rumor it is fact try emailing or calling their office , we have had 2 customers with warranty issues for over 4 months no return calls or any help from the MD Arms office. If you think this has anything to do with PANIC BUYING we do not need to do that to sell product we are sold out of the drums why would we have a reason to do this ??? We want MD Arms drums and other product would you like to help in making contact with them ? Any inside contacts ? We are distributor for them and can not obtain any contact maybe you can help ?. We want MD ARMS drums so hope all is OK with them and Mike is just tinkering away in a secret lab working on a new innovative product . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hopefully this is like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original, not that gay one with Johnny Depp). Mike just disappears for awhile, while MD Arms continues to pump out products and then one day, blammo Mike comes back on the scene with golden tickets that resemble double stack 12g magazines. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheDarkHorse 216 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Mike is a young guy. He could be doing most anything with his life.... I do happen to know that post #2 is a fact. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Has anyone tried to get info through Cope's? It was my understanding that they would handle warranty issues now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weaponx 18 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 i am surprised that no mod has jumped on here to offer up an answer. i hope mike is ok, and that he is working hard making piles of mags. someone knows something ......oh yes you know, and now you know, i know, you know.

Shandlanos 1,470 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 For those who are interested - I just posted three new unfitted drums for sale for $120 shipped each. I'm not really afraid they're going away... If they're profitable to produce, they'll keep getting made - there's certainly plenty of demand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BB1980 71 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I wonder if he forgot to pay the hosting for his site. He does have his website molded on the front of the drum, kinda suck to let the site die on purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshi 87 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 A rep from Copes said "We have no idea what is going on with MD Arms right now, but are told to continue taking backorders." Strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strange. with that i would say they are revamping their computer system and adding more machines to produce. i do remember him saying he was adding on, maybe this is it. yeah i remember reading that too. but i think Atlantic arms (?) posted that they have stopped taking support questions. not pushing things off, delays, etc. Nothing. that doesn't strike me as a good business model.

dustindu4 101 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I think he went belly up The fact that Copes, Tromix and Atlantic haven't heard from them in months and their website is down is proof enough Edited August 22, 2012 by dustindu4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
