Here's a good link (bio) on Len Brownell. http://americansocietyofarmscollect...rownell-Wyoming-gunmaker-B063_Bailey.pdf

Another link to my Brownell CH 7RM. Forward on that same link are photos of the OP's gun. Or I think the OP's gun. Anyway a BobinNH owned Lenard Brownell rifle.

Image Gallery link to OP's rifle. www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/galleries/13880487/lenard-brownell-no-59#comments

Looks like the same gun, even down to Mr. Brownell's QD rings. He made mine, too. Seems Kimber started making them. They're kinda like Talley's, just more streamline and prettier, IMO...

I don’t think there is a connection with Len Brownell and Brownells from Montezuma, IA.

If anyone knows, would appreciate that info.

I'm glad you posted this I was always under the impression he was a owner of that gunsmith supply house. What a shame he died so young.

Bob Brownell started Brownells back when, son Frank grew it into what it is today, grandson Pete is taking it on into the future. It’s in good hands.

Pete was NRA President until that organization stared to implode, bowed out, went home. Reportedly, he is a great guy.
