Grinnell, IA– Brownells has received Daniel Defense's 2015 Platinum Dealer of the Year. This is the second consecutive year that Brownells has received the award, also having been recognized for consistently high sales of Daniel Defense products in 2014.

The award was presented to Brownells Manager of General Products, Paul Levy, on Jan. 21, 2016, during the 2016 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"Brownells and Daniel Defense have maintained a great business relationship for over a decade," said Daniel Defense CEO/President Marty Daniel. "Because of the amount of product they move for us, along with great business practices, it was an easy decision to award them with our Platinum Dealer of the Year Award."

Brownells has been carrying Daniel Defense products since 2006, and currently stocks more than 40 items, mostly parts and accessories for the AR-15. In 2015, Brownells also began offering a complete Daniel Defense firearm, the MK18 Pistol in 5.56mm, also based on the AR-15.

"This award means a lot to us," said Brownells President Matt Buckingham. "Daniel Defense is a great company. Their products are innovative, made to high standards, and are consistently popular with our customers. We're very proud to sell Daniel Defense products and grateful for receiving this award, and for our customers making it all possible."
