No doubt there will be facilities scattered about, but the availability of skilled technicians where they are needed may well be limited.
Power and raw materials will also be large hurdles to overcome.
Additionally, those facilities will be in great demand for more than just production of weapons. Spare parts and whole new machines will be needed and may have a higher priority than say a new breech block. Production of steam powered machines for example such as the tractors mentioned will be very important to food production once the oil runs out.
