I would suggest that even lighter artillery would be able to be produced for some time. And as was stated, the same could be said for airfraft of WWII era and just after, just not jet technology.

Such aircraft such as the old Flying Box Car and even C-130s would be certainly doable if you left off the frills of hi tech electronics and computers.

Again a large airframe of the C-130 class would take some time to build but could be done in a remote desert hangar what was large enough. The other airfraft, easier because they are smaller and of course lower on the technology scale. And that would make them well within the realm of ability in the T2K world.

I would also think a return to WWII style weaponry <recoil operated machineguns, much simplier than the gas piston systems> so I would say that we would see a return of the Browning and Maxim or Vickers class machineguns as they are simplier to make using just steel that is machined and a few stampings vice steel, steel and other alloys, stamping, welding and machineing and assorted polymers and plastics.

So, something along the lines of the Mini 14 could come into service as a primary issue rifle to suppliment small arms.

As I said, light artillery could also be produced on smaller numbers in the 105 and 75mm howitzer class is WWII technology that again would be quite capable in a small manufacturing shop.

And as was said, if parts manufacture was farmed out, as well as subcomponents done at another location/facility then the final assembly could be done and you could probably turn out a completed unit a week if materials and transportation remained uninterupted.
