Guys and gals, be careful with Brownells. they are uber-expensive on some stuff. I thankfully looked around before hitting send on an order with them, and found stuff SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper elsewhere

 

Just a heads up to all!

 

tiny

Some of their stuff is, but their service is fantastic. I have never had an issue ordering from them.

 

What did you buy now?

I purchase from brownells, but usualy stuff you cannot find elsewhere.

QFT.

Brownells is the JC Whitney of the firearms world.

JC Whitney. Wow there's a name from the past.

What did you buy now?

 

I got a Grip Pod for my AR, it was 26 dollars cheaper at Botach tactical

 

Also a TLR-1 tactical flashlight there was $5 cheaper than Midway, and over 50 bucks cheaper than Brownells! Ouch!

 

I also got the Thunder Ranch urban rifle illumination system at Optics Planet for 50+%% LESS than Brownells has it. 199 at Brownells, 94 there. Major major differences

 

anyway, just trying to help

Big difference in price, good thing you looked around.

If I had your money, I wouldn't have even bothered looking. I would have just ordered 5 of everything at Brownells!

 

doh!

Ok Tiny, did you GET stuff from Botach, or have you ORDERED stuff from Botach....they are two VERY different things. Botach has the rep it does for a reason Brother... They're the John Ceiner of Gear.

Shoot, they dont deliver stuff? is that what you are saying?

 

What about opticsplanet?

optics planet is great, shipped same day when i ordered had it in two

Botach is hit or miss... But they definetly have a questionable reputation. I placed one order from there where everything was showing "in-stock" but I received 2 items 2 weeks after I ordered it, and never received the 3rd item. I canceled it and did get a refund, but I would of payed the extra $20 to get the item from Midway, and get it in 3 days or less. I order from Midway all the time, and have never had an issue.

Brownells is great for some things like nut's screws, and springs more often then not you

can hit them up on a clearance sale and pick these small things up for .50 to a $1.00.

If you are building or upgrading a 1911 they are a one stop and shop for all things. Just have to

know what you want, for things like optics, mag's then you are better looking at Sports man's guide and places like that.

I love Midway I order form them 2-3 times a month unfortunately.

 

But Im finding lower prices on some stuff elsewhere, opticsplanet for one

 

Im nervous now about Botach of course

They were accepted as an industry partner on arfcom, after they garunteed Ed Sr that they would change their practices. I think it lasted all of 2 months before they were dropped.

Meanwhile my order form opticsplanet has been put on hold due to the item being out of stock

 

but in some of the best customer srervice I have ever seen, they wrote an email giving me alternatives, offering to help out if I call them, AND giving me a 5% discount if I wanted something else

 

that is pretty awesome CS
