They probably scrapped them years ago. But then again, they are not a goverment operation, so who knows? Here was a story that was related to me as to how the government handles these cases:
Dad retired from the R.I.A.. They had some very specialized tooling stored under the work benches for the older big guns. Of course, they had not been used for years and the engineering drawings were long gone. Well, new brass took over and saw the tooling on their initial tour of the base. The orders were given to clean house and get rid of all of it since was not being used. So out went the old tooling. Guess what? They soon found a new need for the old guns and they had hundreds of them to rebuild. Since the tooling was gone it all had to be designed all over again.
