    There are so many ARs and short barrelled shotguns out there they will never ever in a million years even slow down the sales of them. People will just get them somewhere else. The ARs that walmart had were the crapy M&P ones that have that bare bones lower that won't take any upgrades. So no great loss.

    I would guess that the actual reason is slow sales

    The M&P sport takes normal accessories. It just doesn't have the dust cover or forward assist.

    Here in my area (NE IL) ChinaMart stopped selling guns & ammo of any kind long ago.

    News on radio just said exactly that. Replacing with shotguns and hunting rifles.
