Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Montgomery County. Montgomery is the state capital and the Air Force's Air University city on the Alabama River. Montgomery County dealers take transfers and Alabama adds no permit or wait.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Alabama law allows.
A stripped or complete lower receiver is the serialized part of an AR-15 and is a firearm under federal law, so it follows the rules below exactly as a complete rifle does; lower parts kits, triggers, stocks and grips ship to your door. Alabama has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. Your Alabama dealer handles the transfer and charges their own fee. The dealer runs the federal check when you complete ATF Form 4473 at pickup. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun.
Dealers in these communities all work for Montgomery-area buyers:
Alabama has allowed permitless concealed carry since January 2023 for adults who may lawfully possess a handgun. Courthouses, schools and posted property stay off limits. The pistol permit is still issued by the Montgomery County Sheriff and remains useful for reciprocity.
Alabama's gun deer season opens in late November and runs to February 10 in most of the state, with zones A to E adjusting a few dates and the rut-timed either-sex days. Feral hogs can be hunted year-round on private land. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal, and hunters report harvests through Game Check.
Montgomery County is Black Belt prairie on the Alabama River, some of the best deer ground in the state, with gun season running to February 10.
The Black Belt's deer leases and a long season make this a rifle-heavy market; the Cahaba River and Choccolocco state ranges are the nearest official facilities.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to zero a new build.

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Prattville, Millbrook, Pike Road, Montgomery or anywhere in Montgomery County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.

Yes, since January 2023. The Montgomery County Sheriff still issues pistol permits for travel to other states.
Gun season runs from late November to February 10 in most zones. Check the current Alabama hunting digest for Montgomery County.
With the right upper, in most states yes. Where the state limits deer rifles to straight-walled cartridges, a .350 Legend or .450 Bushmaster upper on the same lower is the answer.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
