For the AR-15 Folks

I know it hard to conceal an AR-15 but I wanted to share this. I found a company that has tons of AR-15 accessories on-line that happened to be located in Houston. I went there today and was shocked to see how much cool stuff they had. They also had some handguns, a killer selection of AR-15's, knives, clothing and ammo as well.
It is called SOG Armory, I went in to buy a spring that probably cost a buck or two and ended up spending $100.00. Nice place, nice employees, maybe a bit pricey, but I did see some good deals on ammo. They are located on the beltway near 59. I am going back next week to buy an "Infidel" T-shirt.

What deals on ammo?
It has been diffuclt to find .223 at price that is not equal to gold.

On the north side, or the SW side?

My AR has a full sized butt-stock and a 24" heavy fluted barrel, with a 3-12x50mm Burris XTR Tactical scope on it. It weighs exactly the same, without scope, as does my Remington 700 VSF in .308, with a 26" heavy fluted barrel. Sans a full length duster, an industrial strength pair of suspenders, and arch supports in my shoes, there's no concealing it.

I've been there a couple of times in the past year and its an OK store. There were some deals to be had. The thing I remember most were the Strider knives, Maxpedition gear and the hardshell storm cases. I think they frequent our area gun shows as well. Nice place to check stuff out in person and then buy somewhere online where you can save a little bit of money.

I always buy "something" from them when they come to the Dallas gun show. Next time I'm down that way I'll have to stop in and check out their store front.

I agree they do seem pricey. It is nice to be able to go in and purchase a spring and detent when you break one like I did and not have to wait for something in the mail. They do carry a lot of individual parts.

I wish I could just go in somewhere and buy parts here and there! I have to order EVERYTHING! No store has anything in Odessa, Midland or Lubbock. I live in Odessa, and frequent visit the other 2 places. Hey Annoyed, how do you like your 24" barrel? I'm going to replace the barrel on one of mine, both currently 16", but I'm not sure if I want to go with a 20" or 24". Is yours the .750 heavy profile or larger? I've been trying to determine whether or not to deal with the added weight of a larger bull barrel. If you're getting good accuracy from your heavy profile, then I probably won't go to the larger .920 or 1". Just curious. How many other AR
people, guys or girls (edited for phddan's wife
) do we have in here?

I drive by it on the way home everyday...Its on the eastbound feeder road to the Sam Houston "Tollway"
(i.e.: Beltway 8) just east of 59...
I was tempted today, but I had a few things to do this evening...I could probably spend a few hours in there...And spend a few "things" as well...
