Seems like the Midway deals are often rejects from various importers. I have purchased several percussion revolvers from Midway this year that had gone on sale, and the majority had issues, some cosmetic, some unsafe, and one that needed to be sent in for repairs. Most were fixable, it's just a bit time consuming. The one I didn't bother to fix myself had a loose arbor (was an 1862 police). Too big of a problem for a new gun, better to let the factory deal with it.
If you don't mind diving into how these function, and potentially needing to fix some bad timing problems, then the sales aren't so bad.
I ordered a 1861 Navy on July 4th that was on sale at Midway and got a really good one. I ordered an 1860 Army last night, once it arrives I'll do an unboxing video and post it on YouTube, we can all see together!
There have been reports here of "sale" guns from Midway not functioning properly.
Here's a thread on midway sales

I ordered one of these this last weekend. We'll see what it's like when it gets here. I don't mind fixing some stuff as long as it's not terrible. With a Uberti I'm already resigned to the fact I'll have to fix the short arbor to make it reliable and repeatable out of the box.
Never!
That is ridiculous to the point of absurdity.
Where do we get those?
So California, then?
I'm really looking at that, I see Midway is offering free shipping
It arrived today and I have made a video and put it on YouTube. Sorry about the video, my camera was set on zoom so it's too close and makes the movements rapid.
