Brownells

Had a good experience with a gun shop or rifle maker? Found a good deal? Tell us about it. Had a bad experience, TELL THE GUN SHOP!

Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

If you order from Brownells do you get stung for duty when it arrives in the UK.

If you don't desperately need stuff, they have a few 10-20% off everything sales each year. Black Friday has been 20% a couple of times and I think last year was 15%. Makes the prices more bareable!

Plus the occasional free shipping day. I find it very easy to spend GBP100+ with them :)

I have a trade account which makes things slightly more palatable.

When we could order from Brownells in the US, they gave me a "Law Enforcement" account, which was dealer discount. US based LEOs still get it...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Anyone have any idea what the average delivery time would be. It was dispatched on the 20 August but there is still no tracking history.
