Thanks for posting that, I started buying from Brownells about the time that was written. They gave me a gunsmith discount, even though I am just an amateur. Their resident experts have advised me on chambering and painting. First class company started by a first class person.

I don’t think there is a connection with Len Brownell and Brownells from Montezuma, IA.
If anyone knows, would appreciate that info.

DF 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.
