A small shop was being used to make illegal pistols in Sussex, England. The police are said to have discovered the shop because of testing the illegal guns inside the shop. It is possible. It is far more common for such shops to be found by use of informants or sting operations. From telegraph.co.uk:
A large-scale illegal gun factory has been discovered on a Sussex industrial estate, the National Crime Agency has announced.
Investigators responded to what was believed to be gunshots coming from inside what the NCA called a warehouse unit describing itself as a gearbox repair business on an industrial estate in Hailsham, East Sussex.
Officers raided the building on Saturday night and found what they believe to be a “sophisticated” operation producing guns, of which the NCA has subsequently seized around 30.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is dedicated to fighting organized crime in the UK. From the NCA:
Our role is to protect the public from the most serious threats by disrupting and bringing to justice those serious and organised criminals who present the highest risk to the UK.
The NCA describes 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 United States.
In the UK, a former shop teacher explained that such machinery is very common, and is being sold surplus, inexpensively, as the industrial school shops are being shut down.
The language used may seem a little strange to anyone familiar with engineering and metalworking. Perhaps the speaker was trying to make it understandable to a journalist. From telegraph.co.uk:

No telling how many health and safety violations are present there.
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.
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?
I learned and trained on a Bridgeville .... circa, maybe 1968 or so.
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.
bootleggers
Not saying i could but an industrious person could probably make their own for even less.
LOL! Yeah, "Your taillight was out." "Well, it isn't out now." "It was intermittent."
It is absolutely amazing that media that report every silly high-tech futurist absurdity as if it were gospel apparently don't realize that a machinist can make a firearm. This has only been so for the last couple centuries, of course.
Easily :)
The technological ignorance of journalists, and the leftists elite, is amazing.
By the way, piss OFF the LEFTIST Censors. FREE 3-D printed gun blueprints here, so download all 10 or so!
