A critical challenge not mentioned and that would be the folding cocking handle on the C1A1.

Next comes the dust cover with the stripper clip fitting. You'll need to create a mock breechblock carrier under that too as it looks like the KA one is just a shell.

After that the Canadian flash hider and the rear sight.

Then the shaped plastic carry handle and wood furniture. You may be able to find some of the real stuff online to bolt up. I think the fore grip isn't so bad, but the the pistol grip and stock are tougher.

Don't worry about the arctic trigger. It wasn't in common use. People would just put their mitts on a dummy string and flick them off for winter warfare.

You would have better luck cosmetically starting with the Ares SLR, but it's got problems of it's own. If you read some reviews of the Star version you'll see.
