Got a surprise today.

[Willie]

The mailman left me a new Brownells catalog today. After 3 years, I had given up on getting another issue. It's good reading and a lot easier to locate stuff than on their website. Guess I'm just too old school, but it's like getting the Christmas edition of the Sears&Roebuck catalog, when I was a kid.

 

[LarryDScott]

I have never been able to easily look up stuff in the catalog. The index is worse than a jigsaw puzzle to me, and the internet version is just as confusing. LDS

The Brownells catalog is awesome. I find products in it I would never have a clue existed if I depended on their website to find. It seems like a no brainer for a company like them with such a huge variety of products.

Are they sending them FREE again or do you have to pay for it?

Some vendor websites are atrocious! Can't search anything. They Send you to one rabbit hole after another rabbit hole. I would think in 2018, these issues would be a thing of the past. Not so.
I would rather make a phone call, rather than have several encyclopedia/catalogs laying around my loading room. I still have varmithunter mags laying around that I need to get rid of!

I got one too. I am not going take the shrink wrap off of it. I want to use it as an object lesson for my grandkids when I tell them about walking to school, corded phones, and paper catalogs. I imagine I'll get some eye-rolls when I pull it out.

What, you never had crank phones?? You're just a youngin!!

Maybe partially off topic but I needed an item recently where the only place on earth I could find it in stock was Natchez Shooters Supply. Shipping charge was over $12.00 for a small and lightweight item. When it arrived I discovered why shipping was so high. I had to pay for a very thick catalog and two thinner ones. Although I'm ancient I prefer online searching. Ticked me off to pay for something that I have no intention of ever using.

They’ve been too slick for years now.

I get one free every year. I’m sure it’s cause I buy enough. Not sure what that is but it’s not a lot.


Larry S— you’re right about their index. It’s worse then it used to be. I wish they would improve it.

Willie— I to like to get catalogs so I can look through them.

Brownells web site Sucks. They make it much more difficult to find things than is necessary most of the time. Usually I just have to use the search and that doesn’t work a lot of times even though I know they have wat I’m looking for. Brownells seems content to put on constant sales, free shipping etc to generate sales instead of fixing some of these basic things.
I didn’t renew my edge membership because now I just wait for the free shipping that happens every few days. I don’t buy so much there anyway because it’s like pulling teeth ordering from their site. A site like Grafs is much easier to navigate. I’ve always liked brownells and I hope they get it together.

I have 6Herters catalogs. The kids don’t have a clue what the “good ol’ days were.

When you find those JEWELLED triggers on their site and get
to the price line, it will cause you to run(not walk) back to me. Just sayin. LDS

I got mine today Willie. It does make me feel like a kid again, looking through those old Herter’s Catalogs. I remember saving for and buying a wooden handled Bowie knife that had Herter’s name stamped on it.
