I have a friend who bought one of his castings, and did the maching and fitting, and in his words, "Their not for the faint of heart, or average machinist!" These are rough castings, and need a lot of setup, and extreme care by a master machinist, in order to end up with a woring action.
Not sure about the gun laws there in NZ, but in the USA a gun built from scratch is legal to build for yourself, but you can NOT build it for someone else, or it falls under the topic of manufacturing without a license! You need to have the skills to make this, or not even start the project here.
