Quoted: Haha thanks for the warm welcome. Umm. how much does a good AR cost? The depupty that let me shoot it said around $1000 since there's no more gun ban?

That really depends on where you live.
A good one (Colt, Bushmaster, CMT/Stag, RRA, Armalite) will run close to $1000, but sometimes you can find deals (especially with the CMT/Stag or RRA).
How much do AR bullets cost?
|
Cartridges (Bullets are the projectile, and I'm assuming you are not into reloading) can run anywhere from $2.20 for 20 rounds for Wolf 55gr up to $28/50 for Black Hills 77gr Heavy Match. Most people spend anywhere from $3.40 to $4.50 per box of 20. Though most of us buy by the case (1000 rounds).
Though you can spend $130 or so and get a .22 conversion kit so you can shoot .22LR out of your AR (about $2/box 50).
Are they available anywhere, such as Wal-Mart and Academy?

Absolutely, .223 is one of the most popular rifle rounds in the US.
