Nah. I think they were still classified then, altho a few were sold in the civilian market in the late '60s-early '70s. They were overruns from a gov't order, or maybe they weren't quite up to gov't snuff, we never did find out. The gov't started dumping them on the surplus market by the late '70s, yet still had some info on them classified until '85 or so. They NEVER did release the complete cost data on them.Yeah, I've cussed the handles on mine, too, tryin' to put 'em in or out of the cases I have for 'em...They made the handles so there is no way to put the mounting screws in or out of 'em easily...Especially when you're tryin' to hoss one of 'em in a rack up 4 or 5' high...
