Only to AR snobs who like to **** on what others own to try to make themselves feel superior.
Thanks all for the comments.
This one was available at the WalMart in Warsaw (Northern, IN). I know they're continuing to come in at various WalMarts throughout the region. So much of it is being at the right place, right time.
And ultimately I'd like to have a couple of AR's. My thought was given my budget if I could only get one I'd spring for finding a Colt somewhere, somehow. It did cross my mind to pick up the Bushmaster and relist on Gunbroker to make a few hundred bucks but I didn't want to mess with the hassle.

AR prices on GB are tanking. I watched a colt sell for 1400 yesterday. Not many ARs are selling for big money anymore. The only one that i have been interested that is bringing a lot is a OLY UBR 22-250, but I can wait for that one.
*** UPDATE ***
Today, called and then went back to the SAME Wal-Mart and they had a Colt in! Picked it up faster than you can imagine. Was priced right around $1100. Colt LE 6920. I'm so excited right now.
I'm not calling it divine intervention that I didn't buy yesterday, but someone somewhere was looking out for me!
Now, to get started customizing! Any recommendations?

I had the same dilemma a week ago. I did a rain check on a Bushmaster back in December and Dunham's called last week and said it was in. I have a 6920 and an RRA so I thought. Do I want to spend money on a Bushmaster? I decided for $799 why not!
why did you spend 1100? The Bushmaster is the same gun from what I read in this thread.
Seriously, shoot the heck out of it and then change what you dont like.
This is why I try to read the thread before I post.
Congrats on the Colt.
No Walmarts in Fort Wayne area carry any guns other than pellet or airsoft. Why do some Walmarts carry guns and others don't?
Not sure why... you can always call them ahead and they'll tell you whether they sell guns or not before you go. Will save you the time.
Also, when you go in and start asking around they'll usually give you a good idea of when to call each day for when their truck comes in. If you're like me, I just schedule a 10 min appointment in my phone every day at the same time to call them, and be ready to run out when you hear the news.
Beyond that, it's all luck.
Good luck to you all!
I was told it's the Managers discretion and I was also told that most that don't have gotten in trouble with the ATF or at least that's the case with the New Albany IN walmart. Like I said I was told I can't back it up with fact and probably wouldn't bet on it.
