Brownells Purchases Lewis Lead Remover
Brownells has purchased the Lewis Lead Remover, keeping a
popular product available to gunsmiths and shooters by making it
a permanent fixture in the line of Brownells-produced gun-cleaning
tools.
"As a long-time distributor of the Lewis Lead Remover, we
know it is a great product — many of our customers tell us about
its effectiveness and ease of use," said Pete Brownell, company
vice president. "With this purchase, our customers can be sure
that the Lewis Lead Remover will be available for years to come as
one of the products manufactured and sold under the Brownells
brand. As always, we’re constantly working to expand our
selection of quality products to provide our customers with the
best possible service and satisfaction."
The purchase was completed April 1, 2003. Brownell said the
Lewis Lead Remover, introduced in 1954 by LEM Gun Specialties,
has become the most widely used mechanical lead remover for
pistols in gun shops nationwide. Because of its effectiveness, it
has been endorsed by many of the nation’s top shooters as the
single best way to clean lead buildup from the forcing cone,
cylinder and barrel of revolvers, and the chamber and barrel of
clip-fed pistols.
"The Lewis Lead Remover is an ideal addition to our branded
products," Brownell said, "particularly because shooters often use
it in conjunction with our J-B Bore Cleaning Compound to remove
every last speck of residue from barrels. Together, the two
products provide a highly effective way to restore accuracy and
add service life."
The Lewis Lead Remover is sold in kit form, including a handle,
cone and rubber tips, specially-woven brass patches and complete
instructions. Kits available include 9mm, .357, .38, .41, .44 and
.45
calibers.
