Video: Why Brownells Started Making AR-15 Magazines

Brownells recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of its AR-15 and M-16 magazines, which first started shipping in 2004. Many customers, even longtime fans of Brownells, may not actually know that the company produces its own line of magazines. After all, the world’s largest supplier of firearm accessories and gunsmithing tools also sells magazines from its competitors. But for the past 10 years, Brownells manufactured millions of these rugged aluminum magazines for use by the United States Armed Forces, law enforcement, and private consumers.

“We’re continuously working to create better products and new variations for our customers. We plan to continue to do that for the next 10 years, and then some,” said Matt Buckingham, president/COO of Brownells, in a press release.

In addition to honoring the decade benchmark with special pricing on its products throughout the month of August, Brownells also released a video detailing why the retailer decided to produce its own magazines.
