Mr. Fife Posted March 25, 2012 at 05:07 PM Share Posted March 25, 2012 at 05:07 PM I might be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that if you print out the catalog, you can scan the bar code to find the price at any Walmart, even if that store doesn't actually sell guns.

I think if you found something youy wanted to order from this catalog, just print out the page it is on and take it in to WalMart to order it. I printed a page and tried to scan it with my phone but couldn't get it to scan it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeckler Posted March 25, 2012 at 06:46 PM Share Posted March 25, 2012 at 06:46 PM Walmart special order firearms are only available in select stores. Not all of the stores have an FFL. Especially those in the Chicago market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriots & Tyrants Posted March 25, 2012 at 08:27 PM Share Posted March 25, 2012 at 08:27 PM Wow I never would have thought WalMart would special order a mini-14 for you, that "scary black rifle' must have slipped past them. A little update on walmart while we are on the topic. the Walmart in Wheeling(Cook County) now sells handgun ammo. No guns on display but they had a lot of mostly 40 S&W ammo behind the counter. I had to lean over a little to see it and I am 6'7" tall. Maybe they will have guns next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneseo1911 Posted March 25, 2012 at 08:39 PM Share Posted March 25, 2012 at 08:39 PM Do ANY IL Wal-Marts sell firearms? The guns disappeared from Champaign County WM's about 10 years ago. I bought my first gun from the Champaign Wal-Mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my first gun from the Champaign Wal-Mart. Close to me, the Plano Wal Mart has always sold firearms. We travel around quite a bit and always seem to be running into a walmart for things we forgot. I have seen a lkot of ARs in Wal Mart for sale, Sigs, S&W, Bushmnaster and one in San Antonio had a wkile rack of Colt LE 6920s and the sales person laughed because as fast they put them up they were sold. They were running $1,020 and the S&W M&P 15 Sporters were only $649.00 as were the Bushmaster E2S models. WalMary used to sell pistols but the last time I saw that was in the mid-nineties.

GarandFan Posted March 25, 2012 at 09:47 PM Share Posted March 25, 2012 at 09:47 PM That's got to be one of the least interesting lists of firearms I've seen in a while. The Walmarts in KY sell AR15s, and I can't help but think that soon Walmart will be selling handguns again. It's just such a HUGE market that they probably won't deny it for much longer, particularly as the political winds regarding gun control continue to calm.

Uncle Harley Posted March 25, 2012 at 10:25 PM Share Posted March 25, 2012 at 10:25 PM the walmarts in Alaska still STOCK hand guns. You can walk in grab some steaks and beer out of the cooler, then walk over to the sporting goods counter purchase a handgun and while you are at it have them ring up your other items and in 15 min when your background check comes back you can walk out of the store with all 3 items.

I've seen guns in WM's in other states, but never in IL; I always assumed it was a state-by state thing. Our walmart has always had guns and ammo. This is the South end of the state though. There are a few down this way that no longer have guns but still sold ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my first gun from the Champaign Wal-Mart. Sparta Walmart generally carries Bushmaster AR15s, Ruger Mini 14, and Sig 556. They've also been ordering 420 round cans of xm855 by the pallet load. Prices are inching up though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howas are known for having one of the best factory actions out, and their accuracy is comparable to a Remington 700. They are great rifles IMO. I would have never guessed that Wallyworld sells them.

Armed Jeeper Posted March 28, 2012 at 01:48 PM Share Posted March 28, 2012 at 01:48 PM There hasn't been any guns sold in the central Illinois Wal-Mart's for quite awhile. At least any that I have been to. I was surprised taking my daughter back to college in Bourbonnais seeing all the long guns they had there. I wouldn't have suspected that so close to Chicago.

papa Posted March 28, 2012 at 05:24 PM Share Posted March 28, 2012 at 05:24 PM I should have included this in my other post.... My local Walmart has a gun catalog under the counter . You might be amazed at how many stores have that catalog. I would think if they sell guns , they would have the catalog but that might not be true.

Xwing Posted March 28, 2012 at 08:04 PM Share Posted March 28, 2012 at 08:04 PM The Wal-Marts near me all sell ammo, but not firearms. I remember back when they did; but that's been ~20 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same catalog that I provided the link to in the original post. That's why I did it, just so people could peruse at their leisure because most of the W-M clerks won't let you look at it.
