Colt AR @ Walmart

[RobbyMaQ]

M4 - $1097... Brownsburg as of around 2pm today.
The model behind it is a Sig, but 22LR.
Overheard the clerks talking. They can't order them... They just come in.

Walmart can order any long gun you want.

Yep, they had the same thing in Terre Haute super Walmart a week ago. Colt M4 and they had a Sig M400.

Is it the new 6920 m4 stamped? Wish they had the LE ones!

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I did not look closely... Was only there for ammo, and I had just purchased a stripped lower from Premier. First time I have seen these in the store, thought I'd snap a pic for anyone interested here on INGO

Yep sa the same ones in Richmond Walmart yesterday.

Yes, the one in Terre Haute had M4 stamped on the left side of receiver. I asked to look at it, touch it, drool, well you get the idea.....

The 6920 I saw in my Wal-Mart was M4 stamped. I'm looking at getting the LE6920, but I don't think it will be at Wal-Mart.

Yup, they have a rather large catalog to order out of if you get a clerk that knows whats going on.

So like, the Rifle Fairy just drops them off or something?

I have no idea... I just overheard the clerks talking to one another. One guy asked 'So we can't order them?' and the other replied 'No. They just come in whenever they come in'. It was their conversation about the colt that got me looking to see what they were talking about.
Clearly from other people posting here, they could have been mistaken. I wasn't interested in purchasing it or any other rifle, so I didn't bother to ask questions of them.

One guy asked 'So we can't order them?' and the other replied 'No. They just come in whenever they come in'.

I see. Sounds like they were talking about allocated items. That is, they can request X quantity, and whenever their distributors have some to sell, the ship them against that request.

So they CAN order them, but there is no guarantee on delivery quantity or timeline. Unfortunately, a LOT of popular makes/models are like that these days... Nice to see even the chain stores with "buying power" aren't immune.

Asked at my Wal-Mart today. It seems only certain stores can order. All other stores just get what they get. That is unfortunate as the closest store that can order is about an hour away from me. Oh well...

Yowza. If she wants to bring a gun with her, that's just fine, but my "orders" would be totally non firearm related...

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I have never seen her in the 'people of walmart' pics! hubba hubba!

It's funny to see this pic. I was just at Brownsburg Walmart about two hours ago and was amazed they had this. I even pointed it out to my wife. It also surprises me that they have all these guns but Avon has none at all. Avon even told me they couldn't sell ammo after 11:00. I am assuming they just don't have anyone to open the case. At Brownsburg they called someone back there and opened the case at 1:00 am.

On MSNBC they had a special on how WalMarts ordering system is computerized based on sales. I guess you would call it an automated ordering process where trucks are leaving warehouses on a hourly basis. I wonder if WalMart has a warehouse of guns and ammo just stockpiling everything. Ammo seems to never be delivered in our town. I have no idea about guns because they don't carry guns.

Wal-Mart is selling Colt AR-15s.

Guys, we are winning.
