Hey guys,
I'm a Michigander that has a daughter in Minneapolis. I want to her build her an AR. I think it would be better legally if she bought the lower in Minnesota. Does anyone in the Minneapolis area have recommendations for A local gun store that carries lowers? Thank you in advance.

First off if she buys it.  She will need a permit to purchase or a permit to carry.
And if you said what part of the cities she lives in that might help guide her to a closer
dealer to help with getting a lower.

Thank you.
She lives in Powderhorn Park/south Minneapolis
I'll research the purchase permit

Once she has the permit, Fleet Farm sells Anderson lowers for $55.00

That's an awesome price! Thank you. She's working on her permit now.

Plenty of Fleet Farm locations.  Lakeville location is easiest to jump on 35 W and head south.

Thank you! She's on it. Once we get everything together it will give me an excuse to cruise over and help her put it together.

There are plenty of indoor ranges to let you have her test fire the new Pew Pew!
Modern Sportsman in Burnsville
Burnsville Pistol Range in Burnsville
Stock and Barrel in Chanhassen might be the easier to get to.

Great info as I doubt she would know where to go. Thank you!

DNR has a map of range locations. (mix of public and private so call ahead)

The road to Hell is paved with presidential candidates.

There are not many public outdoor ranges without driving a bit. Del-Tone in St. Cloud is one.  Some of the Sporting Clays places have ranges that pay to shoot.
Oakdale has summer hours on weekends for public use.

The vast majority of clubs on that DNR map are private.  Some have waiting lists to join.  Some are easy to join.  Others have membership period open (usually after people have not renewed their membership), and they know how many openings are available.

The metro has a plethora of indoor ranges to function check and sight in a new build.
