basically you can run wires to whatever switch contact you need to signal the chip to open power up to the motor. So then you're not bound to mechanical limitations for layout. You still need to break the gate contact when the semi-auto cycle finishes...but pfft, why sweat the small stuff 
Go for it. Design looks cool. Head and scope placement looks kind of wonky...and the brass ejecting on the real thing must be a little distracting
Basically making a shell for the M14 and moving the whole thing back. I don't really see that you'll have any issues with the layout...leave room up front to run some sort of LiPo pack.
Or wait a bit for the gas version to come out and build it with that.
If you could make me one that'd be awesome.

what kind of mechanical limitations are you referring to? whats the advantage of a mossfet or a normal switch?
For the time being, my gun's semi auto cycle doesn't even work, so I've been getting used to a quick tap to fire, but it would be nice to make something thats semi auto and full auto.
As for the battery back, at the moment, I have a couple large size Ni-Mh, but perhaps this build would be better with LiPo...
so far my design idea looks more like this:
just with the internals in the stock. pretty flat, and simple. I'm planning on putting the battery up in the cheek rest or around that area, getting a piece of plastic or some plate held in places with screws overtop of the butt plate.
more thoughts on scope positioning: the SOCOM rifles have a barrel mounted RAS piece that is infront of the bolt system and far enough forward for the positioning I want, I'd like to find a 4x zoom or something simple, maybe a red dot at first with a mounted magnifier? so many ideas, so little time
ehobby had a front set of rails (4 sided) mounted to the barrel:

I'm very tempted to just add this to it, would make it looks kinda fun, little more EBR ish...
PS. IF this is successful, I may start making a couple, I plan on designing it so a TM compatable M14 can just slide in with no modifications (minus the trigger electronics). So mabye this summer I'll hit up the classified, I'll keep updating my progress. At the moment, this is all just theory
