This is looking amazing! How many parts will the finished piece have?

I need a measurement to corrected any sizing issues with the smg, such as the barrel and plate butt.
All I need is the thickness of the stock, as drawn with ms paint below! :confused
Partially assembled.
Still need to make the "display doohicky?" (on the upper section,receiver?) and the little wing flap thingy for the rear canister.
Oh and trigger.
Oh and also the small side canisters on the barrel. :rolleyes
I'm not sure how many parts the final gun will be in yet.
The highly detailed areas may need to be 3D printed. :confused

CORRECTION!
Sorry!
The main part of the stock is 49mm. And so is the part I dimensioned as 49mm on your drawing, AT THE TOP, where it chamfers down to the smaller butt end.
HOWEVER, the thickness of the butt at the point with the two recessed circular "fastener" details is less than this - it's inset slightly. Same part, but different thickness. 46mm.
Does this make sense?
Sorry for the bum steer, but hope this helps.

Yeah, that's the area. Sorry! Sorry!!! It's awkward: at the upper red circle, what you have represented with a continuous curve should be more heavily tapered - the radius is almost nothing at the bottom end. The butt's max width IS 49mm and at the top it blends into the rest of the stock smoothly. However, between the upper and lower circles on your image the width is 46mm - so that the area with the two bolts is slightly sunken vs. the rest of the stock.
At the top, the transition is a bit fudged, really.

Hey, you know what? IGNORE ME.
I just looked at the original AR pics on the first page again. What you've drawn represents that better than the GP stock/butt does. That's right, they're different!
The GP butt is the same basic design but executed differently. It blends right in at the top. From the art book pics and screen caps I took from one of the hut scenes, it looks like that's probably how it was on the production GP too.

Whew
:wacko
Need to tweak the red areas:
The two wings that support the canister, the area under the display, the fitment for the lower recoil damper, and the trigger.
(Forgot to include the "bolt?" at the blue circle.)
The recoil damper looks a little small relative to the gun also...hmm.

Cool :thumbsup
I'll probably work on it again this weekend.
Then I'll have to figure out how to physically make this thing. :confused

Some detail shots and dimensions at the end:
Hopefully that helps. The reason I took the close up of the attachment point is it almost looks like a sphere with the canister coming out of it. Pretend it can swivel around in there, if that makes sense.
Let me know if you need more pics or if I need to buy a digital micrometer.

I kinda figured the connection points of the side canisters were spheres, from the photos in the D9 book, but I changed it to cylinders for ease of future assembly.
Thanks for the macro pics of the trigger and canisters. Luckily my guesstimation of the dimensions were fairly close and had to be only slightly tweaked.
I think the only thing left is the trigger!
