Out of curiosity on the front of manufacturing;

Does anyone know if any of the WW2 manufacturing tools for mags were ever surplused?

I assume these were likely simply melted down for materials once the war orders stopped and nothing was ever returned to the government?

Curious if any of these manufacturing gear that pumped out mags during the war still exists today?

I'm talking the stamping equipment and dies etc.
