Well, a pattern can cost a lot. Depending on the size and complexity, they don't come cheap.
I do pattern work for a few local metal shops, but we also make patterns for fiberglass spraying and plastic work.
An exterior shell is do-able, but if you want connecting pins, room for internals and such, your getting into more complex and expensive work.
But still, you would need a gun to build it over. If it was me, something cheap, gas powered with variable fps and a decent barrel. Like the KJW M700
but then your plowed in the pooper when it comes to magazines and the other mechanics of the gun.
With the current kits, you have metal kits that work. Honestly, they cost a boatload, but your not going to come even close to the quality of them with a homebrew kit. Keeping in mind, your going to go through a dozen or so prototypes atleast before you get something thats remotely workable...
Realistically, you need a gun to use inside the kit, and the final product specifications, and a designer to work it all out on computer. Google sketch isnt going to cut it. You need someone to work out the mechanics of the project with something like solidworks or Mastercam X....and those people dont come cheap.
Even if you made it a kit for an armalite, you have to build a receiver system from scratch....out of fiberglass....and even fiberglass needs machining if your after a quality project.
Its a big project, be sweet, but even with fiberglass, its gonna cost alot to get going...And like many of the other "made in canada" projects, more trouble then its worth.
If anyone has/gets a M95/M82 Id be happy to take patterns off it.
