Wal-Mart selling AR's

[B_Li_Ber_Tar_Ian]

I was in my local Wal-Mart today and noticed they had an M&P 15-22. The price wasn't anything spectacular ($400) but then I noticed a flyer on the counter. Apparently Wal-Mart is getting into the AR selling business, the flyer said they had Bushmaster Patrol carbines coming soon. Their price wasn't spectacular, either ($944) but I'm still generally excited. If Wal-Mart is willing to carry those scary looking rifle maybe they'll be more generally accepted.
Now if Wally would bring back handguns...

also spotted a Remington cammo'd AR at wally world when picking up some ammo the other day (Huntsville, TX)

I saw a Remington R-25 in .223 at a local Wal-Mart the other day as well. Benton, AR.

Certainly interesting, though only one store out of four in the nearby area is selling guns. The only high capacity semi-auto rifle they have is the Ruger Mini-14.

There was one in the Lawton, OK Wal-Mart store on Cache Rd. last Sunday.

Cool, so far my local one, that just got firearms back in the last 6 months, has so far only had Mini-14's "in stock", but they have a big catalog they can order from.

Please try to keep this discussion focused on Walmart selling ARs and avoid commentary about your personal feelings about their business.

I think that's great. More outlets will help make EBRs less scary.

This is another bit of evidence in the "AR has won" column.

Any of you have a copy of the flyer with the AR's ?

Would be nice to have a copy to take to the local Walmart.

I'm wondering if the Mossberg ARs will be picked up like this.

The Mossberg product is certainly less 'fudd' looking than the Remington R-15. It'd be a good sign of wider acceptance if we start seeing them too.

All the walmarts around me in central downstate Illinois, six of them, no longer carry firearms.

 

[HoosierQ]

A lot of them in central Indiana no longer sell guns. However, those that do are selling Mini-14s which I think is new.

My local walmart in Vero will order you anything in their catalog. I had asked about a 930 spx, they had the 5 series, It only held 5 and was heavy, and i didn't wnat to add parts myself. So the gal pulled out a large catalog, and I asked her anything in there I can order, she said yes anything, they had muany rifles and shotguns, 3 autoloaders in stock. I had no time to go through this encyclopedia, but they have gotten very loose up here..In Vero.

Now if only Remington would market an AR that wasn't camouflage.

 

[Just One Shot]

I haven't seen any AR's yet but mine has a Ruger mini 14 in stock.

 

[FIVETWOSEVEN]

The Remington AR 15 is basically meant to be a hunting gun and doesn't look evil. After all, some stores will carry a Mini 14 with a wood stock while not want to carry the Tactical model when its just a larger mag, different stock and a flash hider.

 

[USAF_Vet]

I'll have to swing by the local W-M to see if they have ARs in stock.

I honestly like the Camo'ed Remington AR's. Hopefully my local Wally world will start stocking them. Typically they only have .22s, muzzle loaders and bolt actions.

 

[Dravur]

This is great to see. Any time we have more options, the better. Next, maybe we can get them to carry scary handguns... one step at a time

 

[oneounceload]

Not happening here in central FL - and we have a WM that carries reloading supplies - no EBR's of ANY kind in the display cases

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

I wonder if a 30 round mag will be in the box?

 

[rondog]

we have a WM that carries reloading supplies

I doubt I'd buy a gun at WalMart, but reloading supplies I'd LOVE to see!

I got a flyer from them in the mail showing all sorts of guns mostly hunting but they also showed a mini-14. funny thing is nether of our local wallmarts carries guns, they carry ammo but not guns. I guess you just need to ask them to order it
