In all four of my local stores, they put the AR-15 style rifles, any tactical style optics such as the Bushnell TRS-25, all of the handgun rail lights, tactical style rifle bags, and anything that didn't remotely cater to the traditional hunter onto clearance. Everything that is left in the gun cases are 26"+ barreled shotguns, 22lr rifles, lever and bolt actions. They even discontinued the 18" security shotguns.
It is crazy as each time I went in, the only thing that ever sold was the tactical stuff. The Colts, Bushmasters, and under 20" shotguns sold frequently. The other stuff took months to move. |

Wal Mart has always been half-hearted when it comes to selling guns. They can't really stop without alienating a large chunk of their customer base, but they don't want to deal with it anymore either.

Wasn't just AR's but anything " tactical ". Not political though
 I do thank them for the three ARs they nearly gave me and a steal on a tactical shotgun. RIP Walmart

Who cares.
I'm of the opinion that the "golly I got my income tax, let's get a big screen and an AR15 that I'll wanna trade for a snowmobile in the fall" put a whole fucking lot of ARs into circulation among irresponsible, poor, stupid people that like to take out their frustrations on other people. Just like when the Chinese AKS were cheap and easy, those were the choice of idiots everywhere, the same happened with ARS as the price plummeted and they were right next to the Huggies that Cletus had to go get. I know it also helped popularity and I don't care. It also statistically increased the likelihood that subpar idiots would stumble on them. I know this is an unpopular opinion on here but I don't fucking care. Keep the prices up and make it something you have to go to a gun store for and I'm fine with it. |

AR-15's are everywhere and in tons of calibers now. Everyone is whoring them out now. When you can buy a new S&W AR for $599 at the LGS, not many will pay $900-$1200 for the Colts they carry. Members on this board might but the average guy sees the price not the name Colt.

The whole tactical panic / fad of the last few years seems to have lost quite a bit of steam in general, and as mentioned up thread anyone that wanted an AR now owns a couple. They don't wear out very fast, so of course they stop selling as well. If everyone went out and bought a new refrigerator tomorrow the fridge makers would probably have a boom year followed by several bust years too. Now that everything has stopped selling as well, they can finally get caught up on 22, right? |

Lets look on the bright side, WalMart probably put black rifles into the hands of hundreds of thousands of people who without WalMart probably never would have taken the time to seek out an AR so that warms my heart.
10 years ago ARs were rare, now everyone has at least one and thats a good thing. |

Meh... I don't know about you guys, but I can never find the incredibly unhelpful idiot whose sole job it is to stand behind the gun counter and sell me the stuff that is locked in the cases.
It seems some vast conspiracy to thwart the second amendment: Step 1: Have lots of ammo behind a locked glass case. Step 2: Hire some half-retarded minimum wage worker with the attention span of a gnat and the work ethic of a cucumber and give them the key to the aforementioned case. |

There was a lawsuit against Walmart by Trinity Church where Trinity wanted to pressure them into not selling rifles they thought were icky, but I think that was dismissed. So, I dunno.
If ARs weren't selling at Walmart, it's because they were asking too much $ for them. Clearance them, and they were all sold in 48 hours. |

This guy mentioned that some group was giving them heat about "assault weapons" and defense shotguns, and walmart caved. Also mentioned the tac stuff being discontinued. This was all before it was wide spread on the web and the stuff was being clearanced. At our store the AR's sold well and they were told not to order any more a month ago. So far his info seems correct. |

WM's strength is buying at cheaper prices than everybody else and selling with low margins with prices that beat every other vendor. They can't do that with AR15's because the bottom has dropped out of the market price wise. They have no advantage, so it doesn't fit their business model. |
