Gun Shops ??

Being my first AR, I am leaning toward new, but I would consider used too. I have read about the Ruger AR556 and the S&W M&P15, but I haven't seen either 1. all the shops by me are just stocking higher end ARs, I would like to spend $1,000.00 or less.
The only thing I know for sure is I want 5.56 cal.

Ruger makes nice bolt actions and the mini-14. I don't know much about their AR platforms. My AR was custom built in North Alabama so I can't help out on places close to your area.

I found Palmetto Arms, LLC and Ammunition, AR15 Parts, Magazines, Bulk Ammo - Palmetto State Armory but I don't know if either was intended by the original poster.

Larry's or Craig's aren't 6 hours away if you take I65 home. Both have a large selection of tactical weapons, ammo, and accessories.

James told me that some time ago when I first met him at J&M when he was still single. I live about 2 miles from Craig's.

+1 Chris Tucker is an extremely nice guy with fair prices.

You're looking for palmetto state armory. And the ruger sr 556 is a beast. Literally one of the best off the shelf ars on the market. There's a place in Brewton which is an hour and a half from foley that has colts for $899 cash and smiths for 750.

Slickguns.com is a great site for all types of guns. It searchs all gun sites and lists the prices and sells

Franks is a good local store in Foley on S Hickory. I've done a few FFL transfers with him on used specialty firearms. Usually has a good ammo selection.

Campbell Hardware on 59 in Robertsdale is also a great locally owned store with a good selection and excellent customer service. We bought my wife's .22 here and had a great experience with honest prices. I would return here in a heartbeat for another purchase.

I always check prices on Buds Gun Shop and KY Gun Co. as I routinely find their prices to be the best to be found. I've financed expansions of both companies with past purchases.

Gulf pawn in foley across from beach express does transfers for $15. Just for future reference
