In South Africa there are proper gunsmiths and gunshops. There are arm factories, ammunition factories, bullet manufacturers. They produce powders, and you can find almost anything you need.
Except for a few Southern African countries where you do have remnants of the sporting firearms trade, almost everywhere else it has all gone. You can't just walk in a shop and ask for a box of ammo or a replacement rifle, because there are no such shops... The locals have their own channels of supply, with limited choice and availability, and you need to know someone who knows someone in order to get anything.
