The main issue is the outer barrel and the body itself. An m4, for example, would be relatively easy to cast. It requires a simple mould of the body, which is split into separate moulds, which are then joined together.
Please don't flame me. I'm just throwing out an idea.

This has been spoke of before. Unfortunetly,legalities aside, the idea that it could be cost effective is aluring but in reality it isnt. Sure easy to cast, but in the long run, it would be a rather expensive project to get off the ground.
I think theres some company doing some WWII stuff in Canada right now, although I have yet to hear of any progress about them. But even for a person who had the resources to do so, legalities would present to be a large issue.
