Guns from Walmart
Has anyone noticed any difference between guns purchased at Walmart and guns of the same brand purchased elsewhere? I know some products sold at Walmart are made of cheaper materials than their supposedly identical counterparts at other stores (I've seen this with stereo equipment and clothing). For safety reasons, I would hope that guns would be different. Does anybody know for sure?

what you get at walmart is the exact same thing you'd get elsewhere as far as firearms go.
this has been beat to death here. do some searching and you'll likely find a lot of info about it. |

WalMart guns are no different than any others. There are no proper gun shops in Lawton, just rip-off pawn shops with FFL,i buy at WalMart and save big bucks.

Not cheaper grade materials just lower priced guns. You'll find the 870 Express, the Mossberg 500, etc. You won't find too many 1187's but before they dumped their gun sales you might see one. Weatherby Vangards were available at my local Walmart.Walmart also had either a Remington 1100 or a 1187 I can't remember which in a Sam Walton engraved model. I'm not a Walmart fan by no means but the same 870 Express is the same 870 Express you can by at your local mom and pop gun shop or any other sporting goods store. I'll also add that I have never bought a gun from Walmart. I have a friend that has his FFL.

The search function needs to be fixed, not removed. I did a search for walmart across all the forums and came up with nothing. Sorry if this is a repeat.
I'm not a fan of Walmart either. I've seen them kill off all the business in small towns. I was just curious about this and I don't know anybody who has purchased a gun from them. |

Barepaw, I'e run into the same problem with the search function, it will work if you search one forum at a time. also you dont want to search huntingnet.com, use the forum search.

Walmart seems to be the ammo and weapons destination of choice for many on this site....
Walmart this, Walmart that.... They got a good deal on that ammo down at Walmart.... You can't get ammo for that rifle at Walmart.... My Walmart quit carrying guns.... yada, yada, yada I would agree that the firearms are of the same quality.... However, they also don't stray very far from the center of the box, let alone step out of it (cartridge spacing).... So for your first 22LR, 30-06, and 12 gauge it is an okay stop.... Personally I prefer www.gunbroker.com, Sportsmans Warehouse, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shop, and Cabelas.... Best deals have been at gunbroker.com though. |
