According to my email in-box, Brownells has thoroughly revamped their product search engine and shopping interface, and just in time, too. At this past weekend's gun show, I had been about to buy a couple of trinkets and thought "You know, I can get these cheaper from Brownells..."
Their old product search engine seemed to have been steadily improved over time, but still had a decision tree that turned searching for and buying a pack of grip screws into a clickfest that sounded like a Minesweeper tournament. This is annoying when it occurs in the same universe that contains Amazon's "1-Click" feature.
I'm off for some rail covers for the M&P15-22 and a few other odds and sods.
Tam, are you going to pick this up?

Ain't it the truth? I'd bought things elsewhere (and most likely for more money) a number of times because of their arcane search process. Kudo's to the Brownell's gnomes for getting to work and bringing their website firmly into the 1990s.
