I just picked up a Saiga and did the conversion on it. Interesting, but still only a few hours work.
Building a kit gun can take as little or as much time as you want depending on how ornate you want the final product. Dixie has a lot of kits and a lot of options for kits.
I had a friend that tried his hand at making stocks. He started small, with a broken 22 stock as a template and a biig chunk of walnut. It took time and patience but he really got something he liked in the end.

It's perfectly legal to manufacture your own gun from scratch-you just can't build them to sell (that requires a manufacturer's license).
That said, unless you're experienced in metal fabrication and have a good understanding of metallurgy and heat treating, it's probably not a great idea to do a 100% scratch build, unless it's to be a BP gun or a .22 rimfire.
