My most recent Mauser based rifle had a $1000.00 worth of work done. I had provided a nice BYF 43 Mauser action that had been skillfully converted years ago. Note this money went for parts and labor. Later I did have a bolt handle welded onto a Mauser Banner military action at $100.00. Incidentally, these actions were salvaged from poor condition rifles or Bubba jobs. Point being if you really want a built up Mauser have at it but do some figuring beforehand. Sure, I got a great shooting rifle. I can go buy two great shooting rifles for the price of this gun. Would I do it again. Yes.
Addendum: To many of us cutting off the clip slot etc. off the receiver bridge is an act of desecration. We used a currently made Leupold base that leave the receiver bridge as it was. Mauser made, the original, sporters had this hump in the receiver.
