I placed an order for some tools and parts this thursday at 7:30am pacific time, by 10:00am I had the shipping confirmation in my inbox.

That is one awsome organization!

I guess I'll be the first one with a Brownells horror story.

I ordered some Ed Brown 1911 parts from them. All I wanted was a USGI style recoil system, like $20 worth of parts. Then figured while I was ordering, I should get some mags too. I wanted some slim grips for carry, what the hell, I'll save on shipping if I order them now. Then I had that F-Class rifle project that never really took off, I may as well get a scope base and some rings for it.

A freaking $20 order turned into like $300. And then those sorry bastards got my stuff to me before the end of the week (I ordered on a Monday). And they also included one of those big fat master catalogs, trying to entice me to buy more stuff. Heartless, low life, scumbag SOBs.

Brownells is great, ain't they?

I like them better than Midway.

+1. i jsut wish they offered the same stuff as Midway. There's lots of items one place will have, but not the other.

My C&R expired, and i haven't gotten the new one yet. Midway yanked my dealer status asap. Brownells didn't. I did some looking into it. Brownells offers dealer pricing to military also. Midway only offers it for military units...not individuals.

Use Midway alot and the shipping is pretty quick compared to others that take 3 days just to get it out their door.

I have had many a $20 order go over $200. This is one company that I have never had a negative issue with.

Brownells lifetime satisfaction guarentee is why i check there first. You will never get stuck with something that doesnt work. CMC trigger took a dump on me. CMC warranty was only 90 days and i had it 18 months. Called brownells and they said send it back, no problem. I asked them what their actual warranty was and they said return anything, anytime for any reason for a full refund.

yeah they haul ASS on shipping.

I love ordering from them. It's the only store that's almost faster than being able to buy locally.

I'm so busy that getting to a store can sometimes take a day or two. Brownells can usually have it on my doorstep by then.

Tell me about it. I've been to a few armorer schools there. They give you a tour and show you all of their goodies. You always find things you never knew you needed but now you just got to have them.

Seriously they are top notch and always give you some cool little goodies when you attend a class there.
