Gun Shops ??
I am going to be in Foley later this week, and most of next week. I would like to check out some of the Guns Shops around the area. I am thinking about buying a AR15.
any suggestions on some Gun Shops to go too ???
Thanks

I'm not sure about Foley but if you go back on I65 then stop at Larry's Pistol and Pawn in Huntsville or the new store just a few miles off I65 on I565. They have thousands of guns and tons of ammo in stock.

Checkout Palmettoarms.com for a really great deal on an AR. You just have to pay the transfer fee and NICS 4473 form background check. They run some really great deals on everything. You can look under the description to find out if it is milspec or not. If you have any questions or needs my father in law owns a tactical firearms shop in North Alabama. My wife also enjoys building custom AR15s as well. Good luck they are really fun guns to own.

What you looking for. New to the "low end" line in 2015 the Ruger AR556. Son in laws uncle is a Ruger VP. Thinks a lot about this gun. The SR556's are twice this much and out of my league. I had just bought a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 before I heard about the new Ruger. Don't over look the "build it yourself" option like tater73 spoke of. A lot of people spend a lot of money on a gun and then start rebuilding it. Not a bad idea to build it like you want it in the first place. ps the M&P 15 shoots realy nice.

Go to Campbell's Hardware in Robertsdale---the J&M Tackle of hardware and sporting goods---great sales people and prices competitive with any. Good stock of firearms and an in-store gunsmith who knows what he's doing. I just made a great trade with them on a rifle; we were both smiling.
There is Dutchman's on HY 98 east of Foley. They have a good selection of guns, but I have never felt welcome in that store and my friends agree with me.
Another gun store where I stopped briefly a couple of weeks ago is Frank's in Foley, but I don't know their address. They are kind of out of the way on the NW area of town. Only stopped to look around, but got a good vibe.
Overall---go to Campbell's Hardware.

If you want an ar there's 3 shops in mobile that are decent but if you want a killer ar there's tgd firearms in pensacola they have the best parts and what nots anywhere around. Ricks gun and pawn in foley has a rather large selection of new and used. Franks has a lot of hunting rifles Campbell's has a variety but cheaper to order online. Dutchmans has a lot of ww2 stuff that's kind of hard to get but his prices on new stuff is outrageous. Tgd has prices comparative to online and they ship to anywhere you want plus you can buy long guns out of state so you can buy from them. I build Ars and collect guns so I'm in all those placed regularly
