Brownells is a ghost of it's past

Anybody tried ordering AR15 small parts/springs ect from Brownells ?
They have 67 handguards but only 1 castle nut and it was Titanium and $$$$$$.
They used to put out addendum catalogs for 1911, AR, ect, now it's hard to
get a catalog period.
Plus they bought out Sinclair I think just to eliminate them as competition,
they sure have not polished that facet of their crown.
Where do you get your nuts and bolts AR15 parts?

G&R tactical, primary arms, SOLGW, sionics

Yeah I never use them anymore.

I’d add in DSG Arms Arms Unlimited and Specialized Armament (for those hard to find Colt parts).

Instead of focusing on gun stuff they bought the Barfcom moneypit and bow their website is pure AIDS. Countless, pointless popups and a lot of BS. Even their retro line is actually lame.

Should have stuck to selling stuff people actually buy.

I’ll bet they are making more money now than ever.

Yeah they suck, but it’s a recent (last few months) thing.

That said I ordered an upper from them a few weeks back it was all good. Fast shipping

They've also come out with their own optics line, although I don't know who is making them.

What, a supplier is out of AR15 parts? What the heck as been going on the past couple of months!!!! (LMFAO)

DSG Arms is legit and I order a lot from them.

But then again I had a bunch of spare parts for several years now... not a johnny come lately...
