. . . they do
manufacture their own 30mm rounds as shown in one of the later

They can even manufacture entire small ships, as Chief Tyrell
proves with his "private project" that ends up creating a
stealth Viper through the use of salvaged Cylon tech.
The Blackbird was 100% Colonial tech and built from salvaged Viper,
Raptor, and other parts. The only time Cylon tech was integrated
was when they used the Heavy Raider "brain" to calculate the jumps
back to Caprica (it required IIRC, 12 instead of several hundred)
and later when they painted Galalactica with the organic resin and
started installing some Cylon tech in the other ships (This also
precipitated Gaeta's and Zarek's attempted mutiny and coup).
