Shankspony 40 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Good evening all... If anyone knows Mike Davidson (MD Arms) personally, please pm me. A couple of his customers need your assistance 1) verifying he isn't dead/incapacitated; 2) making sure our orders are processed; 3) finding out why he has our money and we don't have his product in a timely manner. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 hmmmmmmmmmm what hasnt he delivered other than quads or doubles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 20 Round drums we ordered over a month ago. No communication no nothing. No way to run a business. If there is going to be a delay when ordering, it should be mentioned. Misrepresentation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shankspony 40 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) 20 round drums I had one delivered like hot cakes before Xmas. Website hasn't been updated either. I'm mainly worried that he's not okay health wise. Hope he didn't get hurt somehow. Edited February 16, 2016 by Shankspony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fan 8 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've been waiting for a Molot Style AK Grip for a month now. emailed, no response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Maybe he is actually working on bringing the doublestacks and 33 round drum to market? Optimism.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 33 round drum? That's a weird number. Also really heavy. Doublestacks would be great. I'm glad I picked up my MD20 a while ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 No clue why he avoids the board like the plague after his humble beginnings here, but as far as I can tell from his Gun Broker account (seller-MD Arms), he's alive and well. Always has interesting stuff and occasionally helps others (like Todd from ORF's family after he passed to liquidate stock). Keep trying to contact him, I doubt you've been burned despite the delay.

JohnnyE 81 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think he needs better business communications with his customer base. I get that he doesn't want waste his time being pen pals, or dealing with flame wars, but some sort of regular communications will give us confidence, which is waning.

I'm glad I picked up my MD20 a while ago. 1 in the chamber with a mag in the weapon and two mag changes would yield a fast 100 round dump. He said something about it a while back.

getitat 609 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hello You obviously weren't part of the group who helped finance the original MD drums years ago. I don't remember how long we waited, but it was looooooooong. Eventually, he did come through, though. Not much communication then, either. -Guido in TX 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nsnate02 32 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I've always had good and fast service from MD Arms. Ordered a couple 20 rounders when they where on sale and got them in days. Only grip I use is the Molot grip. Always get them fast. Concerns me for the future to hear you guys problems, but I've consistently had good service. Past and present, Odd... Edited February 18, 2016 by SmithAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shankspony 40 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 From Mike: Dave, I truly apologize. Something happened when my security certificate renewed and it locked me out of the backend of my store. The store will still accept orders though which has caused problems. I can't even see what orders have been placed or I would ship them manually. I can't do anything. My website hosting and security certificate provider has gave me the run around for over a damn month on helping me fix the issue. Dealing with people that barely speak English, promising everything but delivering nothing. I have finally given up on them and in the process of switching everything over to godaddy and they promise to get it straightened out soon. [...] PS... If you ever need a website avoid Bluehost at all costs... Thanks, Mike 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Davidson fucking rules. Never expect an independent to have the same type of customer service as a large corporation with entire departments dedicated to communication. I hope some day he has the time to do the double stacks. Who knows, a few years and he might run a huge manufacturing company and have hot receptionist answering calls on Skype. With his stuff, just send the money and forget about your purchase. Seriously, like buying gear out of Russia. Just let it go and it will surprise you. I have a lot of respect for a old school saiga-12 member that allowed me to have 20 fucking round drum magazines for my Tac47. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 A surprise for me at this point, would be lagniappe. An extra drum for the time and trouble and lack of communication. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can lend you a drum if you really need it. What did you order? "lagniappe" is a gift. JMHO, he's looking for an extra drum to be tossed into his order as a meaningful way of saying he's sorry for the delay and lack of contact 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yakdung 2,926 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was birthed and grew up in a once French territory known as Louisiana. Lagniappe is a French term/saying that means a little something extra. For example, the old Cajun restaurants would plop down on the table crawfish hushpuppies or a little complimentary sampling of something like gumbo or crawfish e'touffée. They understood it was an honor you selected their establishment to patronize and appreciated your business. This business practice is all but gone since the elders have died off. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
