just placed a order. requested a new catalog. mine is #70, was told that the current catalog is #72 and it will cost $10.00. i've been a customer for over 40 years; and every year around august i recieved a new catalog in the mail at no charge. on the average order the cost of a catalog was probably paid for. when i was in the "business" i spent in excess of $1500 per year. yes i did order a new catalog. probably the last; and i will do my best to order elswhere when possible. brownells prices are higher on many items that can be bought elswhere, but they have everything in one place. all that being said, i feel better!
