So how do you go to Fleet Farm and only see the Magpul stuff?

They now carry AR15s! They had several different Adams Arms ARs. And lots of other stuff.

A few things I remember:

Eotech 512
Bravo Company charging handle
Magpul follower packs
Lula loaders
Replacement AR trigger group
Lots of rails and covers
lots of iron sights including flip ups and removable carry handles
Nikon 223 sights
Red dots
lots of sling attachments

I picked up an AR front sight adjustment tool.

Yes, and even if you're gay or not even really getting married. :mrgreen:

Not only do they now carry AR15s but the one in Hudson at least now has handguns. ARs are Adams? They are piston driven. Nice to see tehm branch out into this arena. prices were not spectacular but they typically compete so we will see.

i don't know..... the Blaine location (which i still contest is Lino Lakes) has a bold sign as i walked my happy ass in there that states "FLEET FARM BANS WEAPONS ON THIS PROPERTY" or whatever. either way, i had my gun on me and wandered in anyways. 5 minutes later, security calmly approached me and i played dumb. "i didn't see a sign, sorry! i thought all stores that sell guns would allow them to be carried inside...."

i have an issue when it comes to a store not allowing (or wanting, i guess) weapons to be carried by responsible, licensed adults. that says to me that they care very little about the safety of their customers.








i still shop there, though. now i just wear a hoodie!

I was in the Blaine store. I will be back there tomorrow and can double check to make sure I saw what I thought I did. Can get price too.

Interesting. I even looked for a sign and didn't see one. I conceal anyway. They kicked you out?

I brought my rifle in there once to get a scope put on it and I got some worried looks from the soccer moms leaving the place.

Or, you know, they could be just moving into a new market.

I'm not complaining - I love fleet farm!

I saw an old dude with this shirt on that said something like, "If there's no fleet farm in heaven, I'm not going"

hahahahah

Is Fleet Farm what you would properly call an "implement store' where you can purchase any thing from Peanut Butter to a Brassiere?

I love the place...I think they had 15 Aisles of fishing stuff just before the opener.

Well, hell. You guys have just given me another excuse to head to the Lakeville FF after work this evening. And I was just there on Wednesday too.
