It wasn't 'he'  It was 'they', and I doubt their are thousands ... or even hundreds.  Then there is the sticky issue of ammunition, which is easy except for the primer.  Even cartridge reuse is dicey after many cycles. 

Then again, anyone firing a weapon made of scrap metal already has a death wish.

Drugs seem to get manufactured and imported with out too much trouble.  I don't see ammo as an insurmountable problem.  As for the metal, figuring out which bits of scrap metal are composed of what alloy isn't hard to figure out.  One of the nice things about the M1911 is how forgiving the design is.  John Browning had to make do with worse alloys than this guy is.

Cooking meth and making gunpowder are similar in complexity, but making primers and cartridges are a lot more involved processes, and undertakings that require some specialized machinery.  Then again, we're talking about people who makes guns out of scrap metal, so risk seems to be part of the game. 

Feel free to buy one.  Shoot one at your own risk.
