Brownells® has launched Gunsmiths.com - a new, free website designed to enrich and promote the trade. Gunsmiths can boost their business by registering with the site's gunsmith locator, find a job or an employee with free postings for resumes and job openings, and expand their knowledge with a whole group of features.

Gunsmiths.com features an ever-expanding library of how-to gunsmithing articles and videos featuring the Brownells staff of gun techs. Short, quick, always-changing Tech Tips show up at the bottom of the home page and a Gunsmith Glossary helps customers understand their guns. There's also info on trends in the industry and a calendar of events.

"Brownells traces its roots to Dad's gunsmithing," said Frank Brownell, company chairman and CEO. "He used to say, 'Show me a town without a gunsmith, and I'll show you a town without hunters or shooters.' We want to help gunsmiths in every town succeed."

For folks with broken guns, gunsmiths.com features a sophisticated gunsmith locator. Visitors can search the site for gunsmiths in their area or specialists all across the country. The locator features a five-star rating system that allows users to rate a shop based on their experiences.

If you're interested in becoming a gunsmith, the site also has information on schools and vocational training.
