A basic "starter kit" AR is $400-500. You have to assemble it (the lower). A good assembled AR is about $1000.

Building one is easy. Once you've done it, you can build a lower in ~20 minutes. The upper, if you have the couple of tools required, shouldn't take more than that.

Rural King will sell you a S&W M&P for $500 ready to go, no assembly
necessary. I even see them less on sale occasionally.

The M&P Sport model is their least expensive and it retails for $739, with a street price of $600+. Rural King seems to be selling them for less than anyone else I've seen.


I think Walmart matches their price or is very close. I really have no
interest in ARs so I don't pay that much attention.
In that regard I almost agree with Richard but I also realize it is
none of my business what others want to do. I understand a homicidal
maniac can buy a prettier gun, like a ranch rifle and do exactly the
same damage. (same ammo, same rate of fire, same size magazines)
We keep forgetting, the first "school shooter" most people remember
killed 14 people and wounded 31 with a bolt action Remington 700.
(Charles Whitman)



For some reason the ability to run down to WalMart to buy an AR-15 type
rifle blows my mind.


There is a background check tho. Why shouldn't you be able to buy a
rifle if you can buy any other kind of gun?
