That's the easy part of this whole endeavour. Getting the licensing to produce replica's (yes, there is one of those) which are likely destined for Canadian consumption, will be nearly impossible to get.
Getting a license to possess prohibited weapons in order to copy their form and details is also impossible to get currently, but laws have been changed in the past and will be changed again.
Getting the millions of dollars needed for a facility, labour force, moulding rights and moulds to make all the necessary parts, getting all the R&D out of the way for guns that don't exist yet that need to actually be built and tested prior to public consumption, paying all those employees you just trained to sit and wait for the R&D and parts deliveries to occur, and all the other little "details" associated with manufacturing on a HUGE scale.
Let's face it, you'd need to make thousands of a particular model in order to even begin to pay for production costs. Otherwise, that Tavor or FN that you really like will end up costing $3500 for a modest performer, maybe, or a piece of junk that will never empty a mag before needing major work (G&G). And who'd want that?
If sukivan has all this money, technical know-how, business experience, manufacturing management experience and market analysis, then I say best of luck to him. Otherwise, it's just another kid with illusions of grandeur.
