Can you special order guns through Wal-Mart like an other FFL dealer?

I want a Century Arms VZ-2008, but everywhere's out of stock right now, and I bet Wal-Mart could get it for cheaper because I heard that they buy directly from the manufacturer (or importer).

I think you can still order out of their "in store" catalog, but don't be looking for much of a price break. Their best deals are usually on their rack in the store.

No you can't, if they do not stock it then they will not order it.

I think you can still order out of their "in store" catalog...

If this is the case, it's not all bad - last time I saw one of those it was quite a tome, and included things like AR's, handguns, and Mini-14's.

i special ordered a henry 22 levergun from them some years ago. they had the regular one in stock and i wanted the large loop. they used their "layaway" process. I put some money down, they ordered it, it came in and i paid it off. fairly hassle-free as i recall, except for the manager walking me to the door with it

They have a catalog in the sporting goods department in the stores that sell guns, you can order anything thats in the catalog. I think I have even seen the catalog on Wal Marts website though it was quite a while back.

Yep.

Go to the sporting goods counter. Ask for the Special Order book.
If your gun is listed they can order it.

Be aware of the following:

You will pre-pay.
You will not be able to return the item.
No guaranteed delivery time. Could take weeks or months to get.

Their book has a LOT of stuff in it.

Go see and report back.

Wal-Mart Special order guns

Out of curiosity, I looked to see if they had CZ's. Stock numbers didn't match CZ website. I'd be really, really careful about ordering there with a no returns policy.

I think you would be better with a different source of purchase. YMMV.

As has been mentioned, you can order from the book.
My brother ordered a CVA Optima Elite with the muzzleloader barrel and the .30-06 barrel. He paid about the same as I did for mine with just the muzzleloader barrel from Gander Mountain.
