[M.T. Pockets]

I have absolutely no idea that Walmart has any type of agreement with any firearms manufacturer. I agree with the statement that the lower end guns are already made as cheap as possible and there is no room to make them any cheaper.

That said, I visited with a fishing tackle rep. who told me that Walmart did strike a deal with the company he worked for (a major tackle manufacturer). They cut a few corners to make their tackle a bit cheaper, e.g. one coat of paint on a jig head instead of two. These were made and sold specifically for Walmart. This is second hand so take it for what it is worth. I have learned that often times things are cheaper for a reason.
