Default Primers In Stock At Brownells

$123 for small rifle. $107 for small pistol. Add in shipping and has mat fees. Three years into this this is supposed to be good news?

My local SW has primers about once a month now and although they have a 2 pack maximum their last price was $5.03 per pack. I know they are marked up at least 20% store profit. Brownells should be ashamed of themselves for shafting the customers that keep them in business.

The market rate is about $.10 a primer. SW can sell them at $.05 a primer with limits and require a visit to the store which results in more people at the store buying more stuff. That doesn’t work for online vendors. Brownells selling 200 primers for $10 plus $10 shipping plus $20 hazmat would end up being $40 for 200 primers.

Irrational to expect that a company would place the interests of customers ahead of profits. Sincerely. bruce.
