I am given to understand that the Afghans hand-built many different kinds of rifle, back to the Tonkin-Jazail. (CF Rudyard Kipling)

The Afghan jezail was infamous for outranging the British musket in the First Afghan War.

Now the tribal region of Pakistan makes about any gun you want.I was there once and passed on a “Rennington 500” - yes Rennington - in 30-06. As fine a looking gun as Remington ever turned out. These guys start with axles etc and do an amazing amount of hand filing and work to turn them out.
