Walmart sells AR-15's

[sinnful]

Was completely shocked. Walmart in Plymouth, IN had a DPMS AR-15 for sale. Just picked it up. Curious if anyone else has ever seen one at Walmart.

 

[Mephitical]

I have, but down in Kentucky and Tennessee...not anywhere around Indiana. Not yet anyway.

i've never seen one there, I looked through their catalog when shopping for an ar recently did not see any in there.

Have not seen a Ar at wal-mat, but a Wal-mart in KY had 3 Mini-14's and a Mini-30...I about crapped my pants!!

 

[beau45CLT]

Yes

Yes, I've read that Walmart is bringing in I believe DPMS, a bushmaster, and M&P. Also a M&P 15-22. I think only one model from each brand.

Heck.. the wal-mart in Evansville does good just to stock ammo.. and very little of it...

How much for it?

I didn't notice any in the Plymouth Walmart Monday when I was there. It'll be interesting to see what it does to the shop west of town. I haven't been in there but after an email about a shotgun (that Walmart couldn't get even through the special order catalog), and seeing the prices he quoted me...it might hurt his sales a bit.

They just got it in this morning. And the shop you speak of is only about 4 miles from my house. On some things he is hard to beat, but on others he is way to high.

I know that he has given an uncle of mine some pretty good deals in the past (I think he was doing gun shows for awhile 10 years ago or so and they've known each other a long time). When I've been past, he looks like he stays somewhat busy so obviously people are finding some value in there.

Depending on who is working the gun counter next time I'm in Walmart, I'll talk to them a bit to see if it is something they're going to be stocking regularly.

But what this thread needs is a picture of your new toy.

Wal Mart has some decent long guns that can be special ordered.
My local store has had a Mini-14 in stock most the winter too.

I've seen Mini 14s and yeah, they can order some really nice stuff. I missed out on a really good deal because it was an item that wasn't going to be stocked in that color. It was a Howa Ranchland .223 combo (scope wasn't great). It was about $200 less than the ones in other colors.

I've seen some pretty nice guns in Walmart, unfortunately the stores were always out of state or in southern Indiana. When I lived in Ky a few years back the little Walmart in our town had a great gun selection. I saw Weatherby, Brownings and nice Winchesters along with Mini 14s and plenty of 22s. I was talking to a salesman there and he said the manager of sporting goods was a gun lover and ordered a lot of high end stuff. When the stuff didn't sell he would mark it down and buy it for himself. The dept managers used to be able to order whatever they wanted as long as it sold. I know this was true in cameras too. The Walmarts in Indy suck! They barely keep ammo in stock, but that has gotten better lately.

Read somewhere that 900 of the Walmarts are selling We'd now.

Ooopps ....... I mean AR's. Damn auto correct

That's hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised in the least.

 

[threedhuntr]

^^^^^^^^ CORRECTION.

Read on another forum that a few people have found Colt LE6920s at their local Wal Marts. Pretty interesting stuff.

I saw that DPMS at the Plymouth walmart yesterday. Its was a Sportical, no forward assist, no dust cover and no Iron sight but the price seemed decent. In other words, a built for walmart rifle.

One of the clerks at my local Walmart told me that they got a new marketing director at Walmart HQ. Supposedly he's pro gun and a avid sportsman. That's why we're starting to see AR's and the like.
