I am sure that if a worker back in the day wanted to get parts out of the factory and assemble a gun at home it was doable. These folks were talented craftsmen and I am sure that they would have had no problem altering a metal lunchbox or thermos to conceal what they needed to get by the guards or metal detectors. Not saying that anyone did, just saying that it was most likely possible.
It would be a sure bet that some employee's had guns that were not paid for, or any records of there existence.
They sure wouldn't want to get caught with one though.
