AR 15s seem to be as rare as hens teeth these days...
Anyone know of a place online you can order and have it delivered locally?
Palmetto States Armory. Buy a lower then outfit it with 556 and 300 blackout uppers. I recommend 10.5 inch barreled uppers, so I have a PSA pistol lower.
gunbuyer.com had plenty in stock last time I looked.
I just picked up an AR pistol last week. They shipped it to local FFL who charged $35 for the transfer.
Reasonable prices too.
I do not know where you live, but I live in NC and they are still available.
Go to Armslist.com and go to the classified tab. Then go to your state and city. It will have local private party sellers (and some commercial vendors). AR15s seem to be going for about 10-20% more than this time last year, but then they were plentiful.
If you are willing to build your own (it takes about two hours and a few common tools (pull up instructions from Youtube)), you can assemble a kit from Palmetto Arms for about $635 (stripped lower is about $80+ full kit is $500 +, $30 shipping + FFL transfer $25). I have built more than a few AR15s from Palmetto Arms and have been more than happy.
No point. We'd just take it boating like we did with the rest of our ARs.
