First post here but just wanted to let you all know that the WalMart in McDonough, GA just got their 2004 special order catalog last week; I was apparently the first customer there to get to see it. Apparently the 2003 .PDF has the firearms that they get from one distributor. The Marlins, NEFs, Remingtons, TCs, Taurus and others are handled through SportsSouth (
www.sportssouthinc.com) and the approximate prices can be found by getting the SportSouth price and taking 30% off. The neat thing about SportSouth is that the website will indicate if a product is in stock, so that you don't waste a call or visit to WM for them to do the inventory check for you. I had been watching for a Youth Model .22WMR Sportster and just last week, it showed in stock in the SSI inventory; went to order it and WM confirmed they had just received 35 in.
BTW, thanks for the GBO forum. I am a fan of many of the fine firearms that the forums cover and look forward to participating some more.
