I seem to remember seeing a documentary about the AK 47 which showed a street of workshops where work started on a length of steel, probably old railway line, at one end and finishing at the other with a replica Kalashnikov. Very impressed by the ingenuity of the makers working with very basic kit in a succession of workshops to produce the gun. The image of a lad sitting on the ground holding a part with his toes while filing it sticks in my mind's eye. Just as well there is only one moving part and the idea is to spray a magazine of ammo in the general direction and hope one bullet hits....
