    Plenty of toolmakers and fitters that can build firearms. I worked in a cnc workshop for a while, but prefer manual machinery, absolutely nothing in a firearm of any type that could not be machined on even fairly aged cnc machinery. If you can model the part in something like solidworks or fusion 360, that program can generate the cnc g and m codes as you work, this can be transferred to the machine and its fairly easy after that.

    Plenty of firearms are made in machine shops. Some of the most iconic firearms were made from stamped metals.

    The Germans during ww2 pioneered the production of components from stamping. The mp40 etc.

    You can make one by hand if you have enough skill, look at the gunsmiths in Darra Adam Khel. Fair enough not exactly super grade guns but given the right tooling and steel they could make pretty much anything.
