I found these Tavor kits in the link below and would love to put one of these together now that the tax stamp is 0$(15-inch barrels). The only problem is the frame is destroyed and unrepairable. I was thinking about trying to take another civilian one I have access to apart, but I don't have a 3d scanner or know what I would have to change to make the frame work as a printed part, or alternatively, know anyone who could or would machine it for me legally. It is a military model, so I do believe it has full-auto parts and potentially different geometry. Also, after further looking into this rifle system, I believe it's a prime candidate for a frt design using the trigger bar to harness recoil energy on the rearward motion of the bolt, since the bar's travel direction is inverted to the trigger pull direction and its proximity to the rear bolt face. I will be designing a frt to work with this system regardless of whether or not I can print the frame, if anyone is interested in beta testing that design when available as well. TLDR: Do you think I could print the receiver for this firearm in something like a Sarayatech PPA-CF? And if so, what changes would have to be made/ where can I find accurate STL files for a niche rifle like this?
