Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Around 10-14 days and you will not get any tracking until it is on the Parcelforce truck for delivery

Thanks.
The reason I asked the question was I ordered some stuff from another USA Company on the same day and its in the UK and out for delivery.
They sent it USPS and I was able to track it door to door. The postage was about the same as I paid Brownells. Anyway, I am sure the Brownells stuff will turn up eventually.
The UK postal service they would have you believe is the best in the World yet I regularly order stuff from a Company in Serbia on average it arrives in four days.
So Brownells have sent it parcel force and there is no tracking info.

It's been sent from the us to you, via drop shipping, so I assume that means everyone's order from that week is boxed up together, shopped to Brownells UK, who then send out all the individual boxes

Sent from my pink toy using "An application"

Right. I see. I am sure it will turn up eventually. I got the stuff from the other Company just got to pick it up from my local sorting office. I guess there will be a charge I just hope it's not too hefty.

There are no additional charges with Brownells, what you pay at the time of order is all you have to pay.

I struggle to understand how Brownells UK make up their prices.
I have been looking for a new firing pin soring for my Tikka T3 but all I can find is the complete firing pin assembly.

Jon Knibbs is selling them for £65.50

Brownells UK is charging ...............................£154.90

I can understand import charges etc, but an extra 90 quid is a joke ****

I don't think Tikka will supply a spring separately..............I had to order an assy. for my M595.
I can't remember exactly how much it was, but certainly less than £50.
