I agree with most of Jester's suggestions but not all of them, definitely the AR-18 would be a good prospect as it was designed for manufacture in simple machineshops.
The M3 SMG is not such a good choice as it required some intensive lathing to produce the bolt and a lot of other machining was required for other parts. A more easily constructed SMG than the M3 is the Plumber's Nightmare AKA the Sten Gun, able to be made in a home workshop as evidenced by the numbers made by Resistance members in German occupied countries during WW2.
However, google for Chechen homemade guns and see what can be done with minimal equipment.

Reason: Fixing an appalling spelling mistake, I doubt anyone used a plumer's anything during the war...
