While it would be fun to take a class to build your own, $2000 would buy a helluva rifle. That's Noveske territory right there. Hell..these days, you can get a Colt for $900 any day of the week.
I don't know about NJ, but in WA there are some online forums and some of the folks get together occasionally for "build parties" or will do 1 on 1 instruction. NJ might have similar local communities who would be willing to help someone out.
And, FWIW, sourcing the parts for a custom build would be half the fun! There are lots of choices out there for barrels, gas blocks, BCGs, hand guards, grips, triggers, etc. Some companies like Brownells and Daniel Defense have "build your own" websites where you can tinker with options.
ETA: Looks like there's a forum called
New Jersey Gun Forums which might be a good local resource.
