The Gun Experiment

We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.

I. Interview
When it comes to quality Gunsmithing tools, gun parts and service to the firearms industry, Brownells is the name that comes to mind for gunsmiths and gun owners alike.

I want to get to Run and Gun, but before we do, I’m blown away by how expensive things have gotten. I keep imagining waking up one day and grocery shelves in my town are picked bare.

I want to thank Roy for coming on the show and giving us a more in depth look into Brownells and what they stand for as a company. I have ordered my fair share of parts and supplies from Brownells and I can honestly say that I’ve never been disappointed. Brownells has been providing quality service for three generations and in a time when so many companies want to distance themselves from the firearms community we are lucky to have a company of this magnitude who is willing to stand by us.
