50 BMG in Walmart!

fishhawk357 · Mar 28, 2015

Just came from Walmart in Swansea and went and check the ammo cabinet as usual. They are selling 50 BMG for 39.97 a box! Didn't check how many rounds but box was pretty big. Maybe ten rounds? I was surprised to see 50 in walmart.

I find that very odd as well. Perhaps a customer ordered it somehow? Maybe a mistake?

They have had it at the Raynham store for at least 18 months

Nope a daily stock item at Plymouth Walmart. Saw four boxes kicking around today.

Caught me off guard for sure. I have never seen it there. I saw a guy who bought a box too.

That's cool. I just thought Walmart catered more to sportsmen in terms of hunting. Not to mention I'm pretty sure there's no range capable of utilizing the affective range of the round. At least in Ma. Anyway. No rubs on anyone who has one. I'd love a piece in every caliber if it was feasible.

Dartmouth had some last week while I was there. 10 round boxes at that price

Yup. I noticed it always seems to be in the cabinet. Has been for a while too.

It's too bad nobody brings a 50BMG to the green member shoots. That would be fun.

(hint: I bring a 50BMG to members shoots)

Buy a few boxes and then you'll have a reason to get the Barrett. [wink]

there are a couple ranges around here that reach out. Devens has a 600meter range. it's not really pushing the limits of a 50, but its a hell of a lot better than 100-200Y

I just noticed the same thing today at the amherst store

It's at every Walmart I've been to.

Holy crap - I'll try to check out the Framingham WalMart tomorrow (though Mass Firearms School also has 50BMG at $40 a box).

If I can make the next member's shoot, I'll bring my Serbu 50A semi - great fun. I generally charge $10 a round as a fund raiser for Comm2A, with 100% of the excess over ammo cost going to Comm2A. Have a blast and donate at the same time.

Framingham carries it.

What, don't they know any better!? Poor innocent defenseless buildings.

Grab some before the dipsh*ts ban it, it's for the buildings! [laugh]

It was my experience that it is one of least pleasant rifles I have ever fired.

50 BMG in Walmart!
