Default Brownell's Prices - website vs. catalog
I just got the latest catalog a few weeks ago. I was about to put in an order through the website, but the website prices are higher, sometimes significantly. Almost everything is a few bucks more.

For example, their 1911 slide/frame rail file is listed at around $31 in the book, but over $50 online, which is completely ridiculous for a needle file.

What's the deal? Should I fill out the order form in the book with the catalog prices and mail it in?


Also, if anyone has some coupon codes or something, that would help too.

prices have been going up weekly. The question is what prices do they go by when you call? My bet is the updated ones from the website, if I find a magazine from 3yrs ago and 223 was $100/1000 I doubt they will go w/ it.

Which catalog did you get? If you have a C&R then you got the dealer's list.

Even if the catalog is the latest, it was still printed a while ago.....

Prices are subject to change, so the price on the webpage should be the most current. If you call them and gripe, they may honor the price in the catalog.
