Yep, we lost our guns in Wash. St. last Dec. It sucks, because once you loose it, it will more than likely never come back. Big 5/Gart sports quit selling firearms as well. From what I understand the companies are tired of fighting it out in court over guns. That is the short version of the story anyhow.

Would you buy a diamond for your soon to be wife at Zales? Walmart is discontinuing rifle sales for a reason. Think about it. No sales people with any knowledge, no maintenance when something goes wrong, no parts, no service ....only a cheap price on junk. Regards, Rick.
yes.

They seem to have removed a lot of their guns from their webpage too. I was looking at one before Christmas, finally broke down and decided to buy it the other day, went to the website and they were gone! Can't find that particular model at any dealer here in the SW so I guess I'm going to do without this time.

I didn't think you could ever buy guns on the website?

The Walmarts in Bloomington and Normal stopped selling firearms in August.

You couldn't buy them off the website but you could pick a model out, print the page with the SKU # and then carry that printout into the store and they would order it for you.

Here in Arkansas they have been getting guns from other stores around the country that have stopped selling guns. There have been some pretty good prices. Not all the stores are getting the surplus, only the regional sales leaders. I hope they keep selling them here, once they stop they most likely wont start again. Only 11 more months until deer season!

I'd have to agree on the sales people with no knowledge, at least in my area. I went in to Dick's Sporting Goods one day and found their guy in sporting goods used to work at the Jiffy Lube, would I take his advise?No...I base my gun purchases on the research I do and recommendations from friends and fellow shooters. I do however disagree on junk. The Walmarts in my area carried Remington 1187, 870, and 700's in various calibers. Along with some Wetherby and Mossberg models.

Yeah, you can't say they sell junk there. have you ever looked at the brands they sell? Cause you might own "junk" if you happen to own a remington, savage, winchester, mossberg, howa, ruger, weatherby, or aberetta. I don't think any of those guns are junk. Their prices are low on guns, I think, so who cares if they don't have good service if you have a problem with the gun, most places send the guns in to the factory anyway, so call the company, they will more than likely treat you pretty good.
