Duane Wiebe (CG&R)1/4 x 22 TAP
Roger Vardy asked me to look up a source for a Mauser guard screw tap 1/4" x 22TPI Surprise! seems to be in short supply. Found one source @ 24.00....Maybe I missed it, but does Brownells no longer carry?

J Wisner1911 parts HA HA
Went to order some Wilson Combat mainspring housings, and magazine latches, OUT - NO - BACKORDER
As well as several other 1911 parts, this was last week.
Good thing I have a long list of needed parts, and go thru it every month, one of these days I will get all the parts I need.

dpcdHere is the problem: I searched for 1/4x22. It is listed as 1/4-22.
And yes, their search engine is atrocious; and I have told them so; obviously without any change.
Bastards.

Why would they pay any attention to you, you are just a customer.

Mike_DettorreBrownell's search enginge has been atrocious from Day 1 of their website and Day 1 of their improved website.
What is literally unbelievable is that an effective website search engine for a company that sells tens of thousands of items over the internet is the most basic requirment.

What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

dpcdThere is an easy, 20th century solution and one which they continue to support; they send me a 4 pound glossy paper catalog each year. By US Mail. I forget to use it though.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Unfortunately Digikey quit making paper catalogs. I treasure their last one...
