Kmart used to have a small range of guns, but of very good quality brands (including Remington and Winchester).
I remember back in the mid 80s a coworker in the office saying he really wanted a beautifully engraved Winchester semi-auto shotgun that was at a local gunshop for $450 (which was a lot back then). As it turned out, on a day off I was going through Kmart and saw that they were selling the same shotgun for $236.
I rang him up and told him. He said "Buy it for me quick please".
So I did, took it into work the next day, showed the guards who said I had to leave it in the guard house - while they each handled it and said what a beautiful well-balanced gun it was - and my co worker was delighted.
K-mart also sold ammunition at lower prices than most suburban gun shops did.

Renato
