The whole "Wally world/second hand guns" crap was started back in the late 80s when Remington first came up with the "Express" series of shotguns for Walmart exclusively. They weren't any different metal wise and the stocks were plain ol cheap wood and they were cheaply parkerized vs an expensive camo dip or other quality flat finish method, but not seconds just not prime Walnut. Remington would build the runs of guns after they had already tooled up and built a normal cycle of guns for everyone else. The guns might've "felt" a lil looser and made a lil more noise when you cycled em. But they weren't any weaker or anything like that. That only lasted about 1 MAYBE 2 seasons. They were so much cheaper than the regular WingMaster and SPS versions that dealers soon cried foul and demanded the same guns for price competitiveness. Remington conceded and started building them for ALL their customers.

That was the last time they "purposefully built" anything that was cheaper for a particular customer. If you were Wallyworld and could write a check for a 50,000 special guns then any gun maker around would likewise oblige you with your own type or grade. I know Ruger built a special series of rifles for the large distributor "Big Rock" whereby they offered 270,30/06 and 300Mags in target gray metal with a gray laminated stock. That wasn't something offered in the regular catalog. We sold a couple of them as we were customers of Big Rock.

But for BPS to make that claim against Wallyworld? LMAO that's like Hyundai accusing Kia of being cheap car makers!!!
