Brownells grows even larger

An email I received yesterday revealed that Brownells (purveyors of all things pertaining to gunsmithing and gun accessories) has purchased Sinclair International, the manufacturer/retailer of top-end reloading gear.

For years I've wondered why Brownells hadn't gotten into the reloading equipment business. They carry darned near everything else related to shooting, but there was a significant gap in their product line. The folks over at Midway, who have the reloading business covered completely, added gunsmithing tools to their line a number of years ago. I'd always thought that to be a "shot across the bow" of Brownells, and expected some sort of response. This would appear to be it!

The acquisition of Sinclair will fill the holes in their product selection very nicely, and serve to solidify their position in the marketplace. It will be interesting to see what new products show up as a result of the combination of these two great companies.
