As a side note, you can save before buying a gun or component from the Duke and then reload the save after you buy and equip all the upgrades to the gun to keep your money but save the progress on the achievement. The game tracks it in game as you complete the upgrades but does not require you to keep them. This also means that you can buy individual parts.

You do not need to have all parts on a gun for it to count. You can check you progress if you go to Challenges>Veteran Gunsmith from the pause menu. The game won’t tell you which parts you have gotten, so please keep track of them. This is how I saved myself a lot of hours of farming money.
