IBM M1 Rifle

IBM made 6% of all M1 rifles used in World War II, about 346,500 of them*. These photos were posted to gunvaluesboard.com in 2012 by an unidentified person looking to sell an IBM M1 manufactured in early 1944. Click each image to enlarge.

* This information was found at the Smithsonian Institution some years ago. They still have an IBM M1 in their collection, but the information about numbers has disappeared.
