Dear Folks
We have just added a super new "filing & saving" system to the web site. It's called the "Saved Cart", and its whole purpose is to make running your shop a whole lot easier for you.
What this neat program does is allows you save orders electronically in the absolutely best and most perfect filing system for you because you set it up to fit the way you look at your world. You quite literally can now save your shopping cart to any folder you want to and can put any name on that cart you want to. This makes the possibilities limitless!
For instance, if you're working on a 1911 for a customer named Bill Jones, you can establish a folder named "1911 Projects". Within this folder create a saved cart for "Bill Jones". As Bill's project continues to grow you just add them to "Bill Jones" saved cart until you are ready to place the order. It makes project management and tracking very easy.
Or, if Bill Jones is a customer who has a lot of guns you make an entire folder for Bill Jones. Then you'd label this particular project, ".45 1911" and so on as additional items are purchased for Bill Jones's. If his next project is mounting a scope, you can put the items you bought for that project into the Bill Jones folder, but label this cart "Scope mount on Rem. 700, .243 cal". Thus keeping all of Bill Jones projects together. Another really great feature of this system is that you can write yourself notes on the project you're working on and save them for future reference. A fantastic way to keep track of your various jobs and projects.
Because of the complete flexibility of the new system, you can literally set it up any way you like. By the kind of project (rebarrel .45); by the name of the customer (Bill Jones); by the day date, or month date (October 2009); by the items you've ordered (Leupold Rings/Bases); etc., etc., etc. It doesn't matter if you're left brained or right brained, since you're doing the labeling and you've put the carts into the folders, they are going to be where you think they should be. You just don't have to conform to any body else's ideas on filing!
What's more, for those of you who had "Save(d) Carts" in Brownells' old website before the upgrade in June to this new one, we have brought all those back in so you can access them and decide how you want to file them.
Check out our tutorial at brownells.com/help for a little more information on how it works.
As I sit here writing this, my mind goes into grid-lock thinking of all the possible ways I could set it up for me so I could find things I want to save. I had lots of fun testing it on the "Beta" site with our Web Master trying to make it crash or spin out of control. The old "Save Cart" was mighty popular, and we've heard from lots of you about getting it back. Well it is back...but on steroids. Gonna be a really huge winner for you. Find it and give it a try. I guarantee you're going to love it!!

Wilson Combat AR-15/M16 Tactical Trigger Unit
Drop-in trigger module fits any mil-spec small-pin AR-15 and delivers a light, superbly crisp trigger pull right from the box, with no adjustment or fine-tuning. Single-stage, 4-lb. pull has zero take-up and an ultra-clean break that's closer to a bolt action than a typical tactical rifle. Exceptionally short, positive reset gets you back on target and ready to take the next shot almost instantly. Unique hammer geometry keeps weight to a minimum for ultra-fast lock time, yet provides plenty of kick to ensure reliable ignition, even on hard military primers. A secondary "rescue" sear grabs the hammer if the primary sear fails when the weapon is dropped or severely jarred?meets military specifications for drop safety. CNC-machined, hardened tool steel hammer, sear, and trigger body with precision-ground contact surfaces are built to run hard in competition or combat, all contained in the rugged machined aluminum housing. Includes two .154" pins and installation instructions.

Master Lines For Checkering
This is my way of creating the master lines for your checkering projects. I have a 5X magnifier on an extension arm. Take a straight line laser (used for making a line on the wall while hanging pictures) and place it on top of the 5X magnifier with duct tape. Draw out your 4 corner box, place your work piece in the box and shoot the corners with the laser light. It's easy to see the line and knife point on your work piece. Mark the end points with your exacto knife (the knife point will gleam with the light) Break out your straight edge. Your line is laser straight.

Old John Still Has The Right Idea
"It's unwise to pay too much...but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money...that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better." - John Ruskin
