The KFS is the only functioning government above small town; and an actual Nation State. They have no problem using slaves and condemned criminals to salvage material out of radioactive hot spots or other lethal areas.
The KFS preserved the people with the knowledge and the skills to make or refine just about anything. It is the only other Tech level A group besides the Morrow Project, in game. While it is true they are scavengers, it is also true that they are manufacturers too. All very low rate and on a, as needed, schedule.

The KFS could easily machine new small arms and ammunition. Using a M series multi-fuel truck engine design to convert the M60 diesel to multi fuel is also doable. They are reverse engineering with modern resources. The rifles are old because they won't replace them, not because they can't replace them.
