I'm heading to Springfield next week to pick up my son for his pre-deployment leave. It's about a 2.5 hour drive for us, so we don't get into town that often.  We're also planning a trip to Branson while he's here (get some throwed rolls, do some touristy stuff).  Can anyone recommend a good gun store that we can visit while we're in town?  We're building a couple of AR 15s while he's back and are always on the lookout for good deals.  I know Bass Pro; I'm looking for something a little more . . . focused.?

Thanks in advance!

If you're going to bass pro just go north of the campbell and sunshine intersection and Loftis is on the nw side. They have a good inventory, and are friendly. Sof in ozark is just a stones throw away from lamberts if you're getting some throwed rolls Id shoot over the hwy and go there. And its an indoor range so you can rent or shoot your own. Not much in branson. And a lot of places are closed for the winter.

Bass pro will be a waste of time if you want to build one or even buy one. They are pretty anti-ebr. I'd try Loftis across from bass pro. Sound of Freedom is in Ozark and has an indoor range. It's really nice and has at least one arfcommer working there.

Kelley's Police and Tactical at Sunshine and Fort has a lot of AR accessories, Magpul stuff, lowers and LPKs.  You should also check out Gunsmoke on Division and Glenstone.

Since you will be down by Ozark at Lambert's you might check out Doc Holidays in Ozark and Sound of Freedom indoor range right across Hwy 65 from Lambert's. 417Guns on S. Campbell.

If you want to get treated like shit, go to 417 guns. If youre not a cop or a VIP customer he wants nothing to do with your business. Gunsmoke on Division and Glenstone has actually stepped up their game with the EBRs. They are also a class 3 dealer now.

I've never been mistreated by the folks at 417Guns, and I am far from being a VIP...

The worst I've even been treated has been as Steve's Guns in Nixa......complete and total A-hole.

Loftis across from Bass Pro has a good selection, good prices, and very nice sales people!  Bass Pro isn't bad....just very crowded, and very high prices.

+1 on Gunsmoke.  We've only got a handfull of AR accessories at SOF.  We do have a PS90 and an FS2000 in our rental program though.

Another big +1 for Gunsmoke on Division and Glenstone (behind family video). Guys are top notch, I go there first then Loftis, 417 guns, then gunslinger if I really feel like it (in that order). Gunsmoke will treat you right/fair no matter who you are, and Brandon knows his stuff

Thanks everybody for all the great suggestions.  I really appreciate it.

We're not in the market for anything specific, but if I run across any deals, who knows.  I would like to pick up a good scope for my youngest son's AR 15 deer rifle build, as well as a higher end optic for my middy.

I agree totally with you on 417. Those guys suck and they'll never get one penny of my business.
