If they seized firearms, I think the word “suspected” could be dropped from the headline

Seizing firearms does not make it a factory

Also, even if he was making guns, it might have been for a personal hobby.

Not completely familiar with UK gun laws, but wouldn’t this be like cooking meth as a personal hobby?
