I have a Samson Star C rail and noticed 3M engraved in it.  Does anyone know if 3M bought out Samson?

No, Samson is privately owned and has no affiliation with 3M.

I spoke with someone about this on the phone the other day. It may have been the OP. I did get an answer on why they are there however. When the rails get hard coated, it is helpful to have certain parts labeled so that it is clear what they belong to. (ie sometimes scope rings look like Star clamps etc.) The designation 3M is simply a random alpha-numerical marking to assist with ID. Thanks for the question though!
