Walmart simply does huge volume business, that is why their prices are less. I actually saw an arguement on another forum that the model 94 AE was a WalMart exclusive product from Winchester, and that "AE" was some sort of WalMart code

The Wal-Marts in this area haven's sold guns for 7years. Just ammo and scopes, etc. I didn't think any Wally store sold firearms anymore, no biggy, buy most everything online and then transfer these days. Best way to shop and save money.

Most walmarts here don't sell guns either. There is one in Davenport Iowa that does though

Do you just go to one wal-mart? My wal-mart up the street doesn't sell guns but there are some that do one about 25 minutes and one about 45 minutes.

within an hours drive of my house, there are probably a dozen

The 2 Walmarts within 30 minutes of my house used to sell gun when they were basic Walmarts,but since they upgraded them to Superwalmarts a few years back,all they sell now is ammo and muzzleloaders?What's up with that?

they claimed in our area it was a "marketing" decision, but it seemed to coincide with the anti gun fervor in the media at the time.
Only bright spot for me was going to a local wallly world for tires on my truck, and walking out with a M70 .300WM that they were selling on clearance for $150

While I agree that there are some (okay a lot of) people who are like that, but it is also a fact that Walmart do get slightly different (cheaper) products from some suppliers than can be bought elsewhere (not saying it is true with guns since I have no experience with it).

We shop at Walmart at least once a week so I am not a Walmart snob.

My experience buying a rifle at Wal-Mart was mixed.

I was cheesed that they took longer than three other

recent gun purchase transactions combined, then escorted me from the store.

Made me feel like I was being sent to the principal's office in 5th grade, not

like I just passed a FDLE check, paid a few hundred dollars for a product, and

also had a CWP clearance.

That said, the Henry 22LR I purchased is great looking, well made, accurate, and has

shot a 500 box of OTC 20$ ammo with no problems.
