Not entirely true.
At times Walmart has offered to buy X number of say...a muzzleloader but they want it far cheaper. T/C for example has made a cheaper version just for them and some parts are not the same. Such as castings instead of machined parts in the trigger group. Some of these "shortcuts" in manufacturing eventually were used in later models sold to other retailers.
