A lathe and a mill. Not exactly a large scale factory.

Maybe 10K on the used market in the U.S.

In Pakistan, there is a thriving light manufacturing industry making guns for the Taliban.

Consider that the AK-47 was specifically designed so that it could be made using primitive machinery, in case the USSR’s main industrial base was damaged in war.

One of the simplist firearms to manufacture is the blow-back sub-machine gun.

I hope they didn’t get plans from the interwebs, they could be in real trouble.

That bridgeport mill is sweet....

They had a little machine shop and couldn’t make a silencer?

The mill appears to be a CNC device - note the bank of controls on the extreme right of the picture - a lot more expensive than $10k even on the used market, probably closer to $30 - $40k.

For safety’s concern it’s a good thing they are using American machinery, the Chinese stuff is pure junk! At least they show consistency.

From the article in the telegraph: A source told The Telegraph no 3D laser printers were found in the industrial unit,

wow! Now that would have been really scary if they had one of those. Lol

Maybe that witch, Theresa May, is concerned they might sell weapons to the South African Whites for defense against the Black Racist COMMIES there.

"...the small shop as a “large scale illegal gun factory”. The equipment it has is common in millions of hobbyist basements and garages in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of small businesses have far better and more extensive machine tools in the US."

Oh My. God!!! Millions!!!

Up in the tribal area of Pakistan they make weapons by hand in a forge made by a tire rim. Watched one for a while and it was amazing.

Nat Geo did a story on it in their magazine in the 90’s. Pretty good and it visited many of the places I did.

Note to self...include silencers in the bill of materials...increased revenue and decreased risk.

Make any gun style/type you want. It’s the ammunition that’s needed.

[Delta 21]

I did a lil stint working at an ammo/gun part manufacturer. 3 mills, 2 lathes, and 2 1975 issue CNC machines and 2 precision grinders. (...and an underground soundproof 100 yd testing range to keep the locals from realizing anything.)

What gun did you say you wanted?

[zeugma]

Since any machine shop can make firearms, it's time to ban machine shops!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Hilarious. What they need is for individuals to mass produce low quality “Saturday Night Specials”, until there are tens of thousands, along with cheap cartridges, then all at once, flood London with them.
