Greetings mack0511, and welcome aboard.

Actual "blue prints" haven't been used for many decades. If you're after the machinist's drawings, they'll be in CAD files. Have a look here:

I don't think you'll find any production drawings for the M4.
It's owned by Colt Defense, and since they own the design, they don't release the data.

There's probably data available somewhere on the generic AR-15 rifles, of which the M4 is a version.

I don't think the Browning MG data is available. It's something a civilian is not allowed to make because it's a machine gun.
