I'm reminded how anyone with industrial capacity during war2 was pressed into service making weapons. If you look hard enough, you can find M1 Carbines with IBM and NPR (National Post Register) head-stamps.

They made quite a few of them; the interwebs say something like 365K. I know a guy with 2 IBM manufactured M1s. Even cooler, the Rock-Ola juke box company made M1s.
