There aren’t a lot of gunners who haven’t spent hours browsing Brownells’ site (and maybe their catalogs in the olden days) for parts and gear to fix and customize the firearms they already own. Now, though, they’ll be able to buy not only accessories and tools, but also the guns themselves. Brownells just announced that they’re jumping into the firearms sales business with both feet. As with most things when it comes to guns, more is better and competition is good. Here’s their press release:

  1. Gee, now you get to pay msrp AND an exorbitant shipping fee to go along with the joy of trying to talk your FFL into sending his license info into Brownells for the millionth time because they refuse to keep FFL records on file?

    • Brownells keeps my FFL on file, and makes it easy to send them updates.

      Brownells is one of my most preferred vendors. They’re easy to deal with, if I don’t like something I can return it, no questions asked. Their “Edge” program cuts my shipping costs.

      When I have a gunsmithing issue, often one of “where can I find X?” I give ’em a call and ask. Sometimes, they refer me to someone else they know.

      They’re good people.

  2. Brownell’s has been selling guns for a while now. They had Gen 3 Glock 19 for $499 with a $75 dollar Brownell gift card. I have never seen a better offer on a new Glock.

  3. I will stick with Buds. Haven’t seen better prices on a consistent basis, or quicker shipping times.

    • Gregolas says:

      Does this mean they’ll stop their pop-up ads on TTAG now ?

      What Gregolas said !

  4. There is now an option for to use Brownells Featured Dealers so keeping an FFL on file will be less of a headache than it has ever been. There is also free shipping happening too if you use the code LY4 at checkout!

  5. Profit margins aren’t exactly fat in new gun sales, Does Brownells have a bunch of staff on hand with too little to do?

  6. My local FFL is part of a dealer network, so you can browse their distributor inventory online. The prices are REALLY competitive (always lower than Cabela’s, Sportsman’s, and soon probably Brownells), and it ships to your nearest dealer with no hassle.

    This is definitely the future of buying firearms.

    • It’s the future of buying NEW firearms – the margins on which are getting compressed down to tin-foil levels of thin.

  7. I live about an hour from their Grinnell distribution center. Their gun showroom is very nice. I walked in there a couple months ago and bought a Ruger 10/22, but not before pawing their offerings from IWI, (Tavor, Desert Eagle) FN (PS90, FN Five-Seven) and Sig Sauer. They’ve got a really nice selection, and their handgun kiosks are all separated by make, e.g. all Smith & Wesson at one Kiosk, all Beretta at another. They didn’t have much CZ stuff, though.
