Purchase a large enough lot and do it by selection of matched components

That won't get you components that stay within the fine tolerance over time, under different temperatures and pressures, etc.

Moot, for a terrorist's crude fission bomb. We're not discussing 21st century (or even late 20th century) "first world" milspec-quality munitions. We're talking the equivalent of a "Hey, Abduallah, hold mah beer" bomb. Crude, low-efficiency, but very simple, and troublingly reliable. The archaic "gun-type" device needs neither high-tech design, nor high-precision engineering. It doesn't even need a booster. And it goes *boom* when expected.
