Brownells Emails

I signed up for Brownell's emails so I can know what specials they have and get the WebBench updates.
But lately they've been pushing the survivalist section of their merchandise. Anyone else noticed it? Any ideas WHY they feel compelled to hawk this stuff? The way some emails are structured we're going to have Red/Brown/Yellow/Decayed Dawn any day...

I'm just here for snark.

So they are trying what they can to survive. Heck, we're hurting too and trying other avenues for revenue.
So I should expect to see a "Free AR15 With Every Weedeater Purchased" offer at the Buffy Barn soon? :jester:
(Sorry Buff, my brother runs a business that he inherited from our Father and I know times are tough.)

Select Your Emergency Foods For WHEN (Not IF) You Need Them
That's trying to push a fear button.
They sent me one about "getting ready for the storm." Great if you're on the coast, but I wonder if anyone in Kansas or Nebraska got it?

Do you sell flamethrowers?

Just tell them that snakes like taller grass, and if they don't keep it mowed that the rattle headed copper moccasins will lie in wait and attack in brigade strength. :up:

That right there makes me want to hire a lawn man instead of doing it myself!!
I have noticed the same thing, seems they come daily lately. I take a quick glance and delete them. My guess is that the back ordered stuff has come in right when things are slowing down and they need to get it out of their inventory. Gun shops have guns and ammo, Walmart has ammo, BassPro even had a pretty stock of .22lr ammo the other week. Wambli and Bigdan posted about getting some. I made my way there and got the limit on Saturday, went back Sunday with the wife to get some more and its all gone. People are buying, just not being crazy about it.
I still get E-mails from Cheaper Than Dirt; their ammo prices are coming down on some stuff, EXCEPT .22 rimfire rounds. Their AR uppers and accessories are still WAY out of reason.

Receiving emails from them every 2nd day certainly fills up your inbox quick................
And MidwayUSA... and CDNN.... and Cabelas...

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
I get carpet bombed by all of them. Midway, Brownells, Natchez, Midsouth, And some others I can't think of right now. I even get some of their paper catalogs. I really don't mind. They're all just trying to make a living. Plus they often offer a deal on something I was going to order anyway.
It seems to me the scope makers are really offering deals right now and Midway has free shipping on tons of stuff.
Which reminds me I need to order some stuff.
Indeed they are.
Well spotted that man. :up:
Our Kate, pregnant again and Her prince ............ alas not our Buffy. :tissue:

A snake in the grass is even worse than a snake on a plane! :jester:
That Mile High Club scene in the plane bathroom with that young couple looked painful..................
