Just saw the website is closing. Another big supplier gone. Curious to know why? Cheers.

Bring back the original "Sinclair international"!

That was awesome. Every year they would send out a hard copy catalogue to browse through. Do a group buy with your mates to save postage. Simple and pricing was very fair.

G'day All,
Brownells USA have a sale on Sinclair products and the number of Sinclair products is very small (217 items). Looks like a run out on stock with up to 89% discounts on all Sinclair stuff.

They were one of the best suppliers.
Cheers Geoff

Apparently their Mitchel ACT store was involved in some illegal gun ring, not sure if that was the catalyst....

And Good Riddance!
Absolute DH to deal with, when having an issue years ago with them {The owner in particular} I contacted Brownells in the USA and was told that they had NO connection to the Australian site...
The Australian version simply ordered from them and on-sold their products.
