Wow, I noticed several days ago that Brownell’s is a board sponsor here.
Which makes it really conveinent for me to navigate to their site and place my orders, or research parts and how-to’s. I’m usually here already, and now I don’t need to google the Brownell’s site anymore - I can just click it.
While you can find stuff cheaper elsewhere you won’t find a company that will stand behind whatever they sell the way Brownells does. I bought an Ed Brown extractor from Brownells two years ago for a gun that I was having built. The extractor hook sheared off after less than a thousand rounds. I called Ed Brown and was told that since it wasn’t one of their hardcore extractors that they wouldn’t replace the part. At my gunsmiths suggestion I called Brownells and they told me that they would replace it no questions asked.
Now that alone was pretty cool but a week later I get a letter in the mail from Brownells with a check to cover the cost of my shipping costs. It doesn’t get much better than that.
I also find the site to be a bit slow. It’s ok though, the customer service is worth it.
I don’t know how many times I’ve placed an order, realized the next day that I had forgotten something, called 'em up and they put it in the box from the original order.
The only people sad to see my daughter sleeping through the night as she outgrew infanthood were the Brownells’ crew. I can’t count the number of times I’d be up at 3am, bouncing her on my knee, websurfing the Brownells site looking for some part I just can’t live without.
