Most any semi auto can be made with files and patience. A hand powered rifling machine can be made and rifling buttons are normally made of tungsten.

Easiest to make with a file would be rolling blocks or falling blocks. Strong enough for actions from .22 to .45-120 and .577/450 British.

I have seen the prototypes on display at the J.M. Browning museum in Ogden, Utah. You can see how the 1901, 1911, A-5, 1918, and 1919 were shaped with files.

Tools and High carbon steels might be the shortest resource.
