Sure, if you use standard 1-inch (non-Olympic) bars; they even have 5, 6, and 7-foot 1-inch spin-lock bars.

One thing to consider is that, if bought locally to avoid the huge shipping charges, a 300lb Olympic set (including a 2-inch Olympic bar and collars) can be had for as little as $120 or $130.
